(2016). TRC Energy Services. Page 3: “To mitigate the emissions associated with utility-provided natural gas, the city [Palo Alto] is interested in the code feasibility and cost effectiveness of electrifying buildings.” https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/55069 3 Hopkins, Takahashi, Glick, Whited. “Decarbonization of Heating Energy Use in California Buildings”. October 2018. Synapse Energy Economics, Inc. Page 1: “...California will need to turn its attention to an overlooked corner of the emissions picture: the fossil fuels widely used to heat the buildings where Californians live and work.” http://www.synapse-energy.com/sites/default/files/Decarbonization-Heating-CA-Buildings-17-092-1.pdf 4 Blanford, G. “Electrification and Decarbonization”.

Multifamily Energy Efficiency Retrofits: Barriers and Opportunities for Deep Energy Savings. (December 2016). Page 6 briefly describes nine “significant hurdles to achieving these levels of energy savings in the multifamily building stock.” https://neep.org/sites/default/files/resources/REEO_MF_Report.pdf 8 One HVAC professional in the Chicago area confuses a brand for the technology in general (emphasis added): “Mitsubishi makes these incredible units called Hyper Heat. It’s basically a typical condenser unit that’s located outside and can deliver heat or deliver cool; it’s not like a heat pump, which won’t work in this area. These actually provide 100 percent efficiency up to -5 degrees.” https://cooperator.com/article/heating-options-for-multifamily-communities/full The Mitsubishi Hyper Heating hardware is, in fact, a heat pump system: https://www.mitsubishicomfort.com/benefits/hyper- heating 9 For guidance, see 2017 Renewable Energy Tax Credits. https://www.energystar.gov/about/federal_tax_credits/2017_renewable_energy_tax_credits 10 Glossary, U.S. Energy Information Agency. https://www.eia.gov/tools/glossary/index.php?id=G 11 Id. 12 Hopkins, Takahashi, Glick, Whited. “Decarbonization of Heating Energy Use in California Buildings”.
