🥳 Kick off ‘25 with this ⚡ @volts.wtf podcast interview with @zeynebmagavi.bsky.social of HEET & Eric Bosworth of Eversource Energy about how #GeothermalEnergyNetworks and other #ThermalEnergyNetworks are advancing #BuildingDecarb by delivering #NeighborhoodScale clean heat & cooling! #EnergySky
Today on Volts: thermal energy networks are the new hotness! Replacing fossil gas pipes & furnaces with water pipes & heat pumps was a niche idea not long ago. Now the first pilot is completed & dozens more are on the way. This is how natgas companies can survive: become thermal energy companies.
Thermal energy networks are the next big thing
Could gas utilities transform into "thermal utilities"? Here's how networked heat pumps could give them a whole new business model instead of going extinct.

"Heat pumps have outsold furnaces since around 2022, and the trend is continuing in early 2025. " #HeatPump #EnergySky #ClimateSky #BuildingDecarb
"In the first few months of 2025, heat pump sales outpaced furnaces by 14%, according to shipment data from AHRI, continuing the steep upward trend from 2024." buildingdecarb.org/momentum-q2-... via @buildingdecarb.org 🔌💡

Goodbye furnace, helllooooo heat pump! The things we can control...

Momentum def seems to be growing. Company I used (Trio) only getting requests for heat pumps now. Other 2 units in building also got theirs and house down the street is installing one too! #buildingdecarb ⚡🏠

As this @canarymedia.com story shows, the data is clear: building electrification is an affordable, practical and future-proof way to deliver clean heat to our homes and communities—which is “why the momentum behind climate-friendly buildings may be unstoppable.” #HeatPump #BuildingDecarb #EnergySky

As BDC's Ted Tiffany explains in this @canarymedia.com story by @alisontakemura.bsky.social, this NYC co-op demonstrates that multi-family buildings connected to district steam systems can cost-effectively go electric without disrupting their tenants’ lives. #BuildingDecarb #HeatPump #EnergySky
“Getting off steam is the most challenging transition. This gives us an example.”

Here's how the residents of this cooperatively owned 1962 New York City building opted to fully electrify the heating and cooling system:
Meet Manhattan’s first housing co-op to electrify heating and cooling
The 1962 building hit its emissions reduction targets well ahead of Local Law 97's first reporting deadline on May 1. Here’s how.

📣The future of construction is #AllElectric. They are cheaper and easier to build. And all-electric homes are better for residents—healthier since there is less pollution, more comfortable because #Heatpumps heat better than furnaces. Pass it on. #EnergySky #ClimateSky #Greensky #BuildingDecarb
Why are developers choosing to build all-electric homes? They’re faster and cheaper to construct than dual-fuel homes, and #HeatPumps can more efficiently heat a home, BDC’s Panama Bartholomy tells the @nytimes.com's @carabuckley.bsky.social: bit.ly/3NXi2Vc
