Fuel Electrification and Solar Net Metering at NEMI Municipal Library

in progress

NEMI’s municipal Library is reliant on older, high emission fuel sources for primary space heating. The retrofits planned as part of this application are focused on offsetting existing propane and heating oil fuel consumption through installation of cold temperature air-source heat pumps as the new primary heating source, while retaining some of the existing heating system for backup and peak heating demand during extreme cold weather. In addition to the building heating electrification, other ventilation, HVAC control and building envelope improvements are planned to increase occupant comfort and reduce issues around shoulder season heating with existing heating systems.
