This 60-minute workshop provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of heat pump technology and its application within the Ontario market, focusing on energy and emissions implications for building archetypes utilizing natural gas and cooling systems.

Participants will gain insights into the carbon footprint of natural gas and electricity, understand Canada’s carbon tax policy and its impact on energy pricing, and learn how to build a business case for adopting heat pump technology through life cycle cost analysis. Real-world case studies and hypothetical scenarios will illustrate potential energy and emissions savings, enabling participants to make informed decisions for sustainable building operations.

In this informational webinar, participants will:

► Understand how operational carbon is quantified, based on heating and cooling profiles of different commercial building archetypes

► Understand energy pricing in Ontario and how the escalating carbon tax will impact future costs

► Learn how to quantify life cycle costs for heat pump projects including energy savings and reduced emissions resulting from heat pump installations.

Participants will learn about:

1) How heat pumps reduce operational energy and emissions in buildings

2) Energy pricing in Ontario and Canada’s carbon tax

3) How to quantify energy and emissions reductions and associated costs for buildings
