The Building Electrification Technology Roadmap for Schools

The Building Electrification Technology Roadmap (BETR) for Schools provides high-level guidance for schools and districts that may be considering system and equipment upgrades in educational facilities. BETR for Schools summarizes a comprehensive set of electrification technologies that can replace traditional fuel-fired equipment (such as such as HVAC and water heating that are typically natural gas or propane fired). Electrifying school buildings not only presents an opportunity to stabilize operating costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions, but also improves the health, wellness, and resilience of entire school communities. Learn strategies tailored for K-12 schools to reduce carbon emissions from water heating, HVAC, buses, and other technologies that power classrooms and operational spaces. This report provides K-12 leaders a roadmap and decision-making tools to electrify their school buildings.
