Positive Energy | Austin | We have long been electrification evangelists and regularly find ourselves on the front lines of the electrification conversations that turn the supertanker. We push hard for our projects to not use fossil fuels and have even recused ourselves from projects that refuse to see past the status quo. The stunned expressions from our clients speaks to their surprise that we care about our values so much as to do that. The process where the clients/owners/developers call the shots needs to end. They often have the least expertise and perspective. In the same way that we promote passive house quality enclosures without offering a choice, we specify heat pumps for space and water heating as standard and don't give fossil fuel options. |
