| Even energy-efficient buildings can have significant carbon footprints if the energy used comes from fuels burned on the project site. Building electrification, the process of replacing non-electric energy sources with electricity, is one of the most important ways that buildings can decarbonize. |
即使节能的建筑如果使用现场燃烧的燃料也可能有显著碳足迹。建筑电气化是建筑脱碳最重要的方式之一。 |
| New buildings can be designed to avoid on-site combustion through electrifying space heating/cooling and water heating via heat pumps. Existing buildings can create long-term decarbonization plans focusing first on energy efficiency and then on electrification. |
新建建筑可通过热泵实现供暖/制冷和热水的电气化。既有建筑可制定长期脱碳计划，先关注能效后关注电气化。 |
| Quality of life: Induction cooking is much safer than gas systems, produces fewer toxic emissions, and creates a safer environment for kitchen staff. |
生活质量：电磁感应烹饪比燃气系统安全得多，产生更少的有毒排放，为厨房工作人员创造更安全的环境。 |
