Hello. As a local engineer working with energy efficiency and building projects, I encourage the Council to move toward
all-electric buildings as a means to reduce the climate impacts of building energy use. This could be through so-called
“reach codes” or other means.
All-electric buildings make sense for homeowners and the community, and move us toward the larger goal of a clean
energy future. I’m working on several local projects that will be all electric powered. Heat pump and induction
technology have advanced to the point where the the electric options are equal or better than those offered by gas.
Thanks,
Dave Houghton
