HVAC decarbonization refers to reducing the carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions associated with heating and cooling commercial buildings. In practice, this means rethinking how HVAC systems consume energy, what fuels they rely on, and how efficiently they operate over time. Because HVAC equipment represents one of the largest sources of energy consumption in commercial […]
