Challenge 3: Building Electrical Capacity
Electricity use will increase. Today, most heating energy comes from natural gas. Electrified heating will necessarily increase the electrical usage of a building and may require retrofit of electrical lines to equipment and/or switchgear and infrastructure. Daikin offers smart and innovative solutions to ease the retrofit burden.
- Inverter compressors with capacity boost extend operation, reducing the need for backup electric heat
- Smart controls to limit how much electric heat is allowed to stage up while compressors are active
- Higher efficiency products reduce overall electricity demand on average
- IAQP hybrid ventilation solutions to reduce peak loads on design days when power usage is high
