Electrification, Microgrids, & the Future of Buildings with Jordan Lerner
Q: What do we need to know about electrification and where to start for facilities?
Begin with understanding interconnection needs, utility service upgrades, and the overall financial picture, including grants, incentives, and potential energy cost savings, then assemble a fundable package rather than trying to fund from a single source.
