Heat Pumps for Multifamily Buildings
If you’re looking for commercial heat pumps for your multifamily building in Manhattan, NY, then contact VRF Solutions, LLC. It’s been commonly mistaken that heat pumps could not heat commercial buildings. We’re here to put that myth to rest. The latest advancements in heat pump technology allow it to heat or cool any multifamily building to a comfortable temperature with ease. Even on the coldest winter days, the heat pumps will function with great efficiency to keep all rooms warm.
So what’s holding back everyone from adopting this technology in NYC? It’s astounding to know that so few multifamily buildings have invested in heat pump retrofits. We want to clear up the uncertainties on heat pumps and increase your confidence in knowing heat pumps are the solution to the future of electrification in Manhattan and surrounding areas of New York City.
Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
In 2014, the City of New York (City) committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. It’s critical to address the energy consumed by the city’s buildings so we can achieve this goal. Commercial buildings currently account for approximately 70% of the total carbon footprint. The task is monumental, but thankfully we’ve already progress has already started. VRF Solutions has been installing heat pumps in buildings across the city to help this cause. Emissions are now more than 21% lower than they were in 2005. The decline in emissions is largely due to changes in electricity generation.
Next Steps For Advancing Electrification In Multifamily Buildings In Manhattan, NY
To continue, electrifying our heating and hot water systems is going to be a multi-decade process, so it’s important we start now. To address the barriers to electrification in large residential buildings, in the next 5 years, VRF Solutions plans to do the following:
- Demonstrate the technology benefits in Manhattan, NY area by installing heat pump retrofit pilot projects in more multifamily homes. This will help shed light on options and costs for labor, design, and equipment. Additionally, it will demonstrate the safety and efficiency of heat pumps.
- Harness Local Law 97 to drive electrification.
- Support heat pumps with better electricity rates for multifamily buildings and chapels across the city.
- Start electrifying 1 step at a time. We want to help building owners find the best solutions for them. We will work with you to find affordable options such as spreading retrofit costs out over time with incremental upgrades. VRF solutions provide the guidance you need to plan a multi-phase heat pump retrofit. Your options include electrifying just hot water, retrofitting one portion of the building at a time, or upgrading buildings’ systems to be ‘heat pump ready.’
- Identify electrical infrastructure needs by collecting and assessing information on current infrastructure to plan for future work.
