We’ve got rebates for eligible commercial customers on dual fuel rooftop units (RTUs). These packaged units combine an electric heat pump and a gas-fired burner that provide heating and cooling. They provide an option for commercial new construction and existing buildings to reduce energy consumption and overall greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining access to the reliability of the gas system. “[We have] actions and goals from our Corporate Energy and Emissions Management Plan to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions in our existing buildings,” said Odessa Cohen, whose organization—The District of Summerland—was an early adopter of these units. “The higher-efficiency dual fuel RTUs support these goals.” https://bit.ly/3MlV4mQ
