Please join the Vermont Green Building Network (VGBN) for this educational webinar focused on the impacts of building electrification in Vermont.

Strategic electrification of Vermont’s heating systems is central to the State’s Greenhouse Gas reduction efforts. This webinar will feature two presentations that will discuss Vermont’s energy portfolio, environmental considerations of heating with different technologies as well as life cycle comparison of fossil fuel vs. heat pumps.

This webinar will explore:

Where does Vermont electricity come from?
What are the environmental considerations for choosing between fossil fuel and all electric Air Source Heat Pump heating systems?
How does this impact Vermont’s goals and policies regarding electrification and greenhouse gas emissions?
