This innovative solution enhances existing heating systems, ensuring energy efficiency and adherence to emission reduction targets without the need for extensive retrofitting. With the Cozy, building owners can meet NYC’s environmental mandates, while simultaneously reducing your building’s carbon emissions.
Challenges of Invasive Building Retrofitting
Invasive building retrofitting for heating, cooling, and electrification aimed at reducing carbon emissions often involves significant modifications to a building’s systems and structure. Although benefits are great, it can be costly to execute. Some examples include:
Building Envelope Upgrades:
It enhances the building’s insulation, windows, and doors to improve energy retention and reduce the load on heating and cooling systems. This can involve significant structural modifications.
Electrical System Upgrades:
Upgrading the building’s electrical system to accommodate the increased load from electric heating and cooling systems, potentially including the addition of solar panels or other renewable energy sources.
Ventilation System Overhaul:
Installing or upgrading ventilation systems to improve air quality and energy efficiency, which might involve extensive ductwork and could disrupt building operations during the retrofit.
These retrofitting measures are effective in reducing carbon emissions, however they remain invasive due to the construction work required. The potential disruptions to building occupants, and the substantial investment involved can become costly.
