Our Electrification Initiatives
When it comes to electrification and upgrading in the coming years, here are the broad A2ZERO initiatives to consider:
-
Energy audits: Understanding how a building is using energy and where improvements can be made.
-
Energy efficiency: Switching to energy efficient electric appliances, LED lighting, HVAC systems and water heating.
-
Weatherization of buildings: Modifications to optimize energy efficiency, including air sealing, improved insulation, door and window upgrades and more.
-
Load management: Improving energy efficiency and operating costs through systems such as energy management software and smart thermostats.
-
Distributed electrical generation: Installing battery storage systems, along with solar arrays, to increase the energy resilience of a household or business.
-
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging: Providing the necessary infrastructure at homes and businesses so people can make the switch to EVs.
