• Case Study: Coleman House

Multifamily property owners and managers are moving towards building electrification in an effort to reduce energy consumption, drive down overall costs, and decarbonize buildings.

Embue can boost performance of electrified buildings through hybrid heat optimization. With Embue, buildings can benefit from installing heat pumps while still retaining fossil fuel heating. On just a few of the coldest days of the year, Embue will switch the heat source based on a number of elements, including:

  • Indoor and outdoor temperatures

  • Energy prices

  • Real-time carbon footprint

  • Demand response signals during a winter peak event

  • Comfort parameters

Through the ability to dynamically switch heating sources, buildings can avoid overloading the grid, participate in demand response programs, and install five times the number of heat pumps and saving even more on energy costs.
