Supporting Climate Action Goals:

for the acceleration of energy efficiency and electrification in municipal buildings.
• Deploying heat pumps in the bath house meets both these goals and comes with notable co -benefits:
the functioning of the heat pumps will also help dehumidify the building in the summer.
• Tree cover is a limiting factor for rooftop solar panels.
• Building heat pumps into the building design allows both benefit from the carbon sequestration of
trees while fitting the right climate action to the needs and uses of the building.
• Once completed, this will be the first fully electrified municipal facility.
