Space and water heating account for almost half of global energy use in buildings today, and nearly two thirds of heating energy use relies on fossil fuels. Those numbers are even higher in cold climates such as Wisconsin’s. A number of solutions exist now or are in the works to increase the efficiency of heating systems in our homes and businesses while cutting costs and pollution. What are the pathways that can scale these solutions up to reach their full potential?
Join us on February 24 at 4:30 p.m. CT to hear a panel of experts sharing the latest in heating technologies, what people can do now to switch to cleaner technologies, and what innovations are on the horizon for sustainable heating in cold climates.
Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
