What are the environmental benefits of an EE system?
By transferring solar energy from the ground into a building, there is reduced need for generation and transmission of electricity, or less need to drill and transport fossil fuels, with an accompanying reduction in the emission of pollutants at all stages. Data from governments in both Canada (Natural Resources Canada) and the United States (Environmental Protection Agency) indicate that EE systems are the most benign space conditioning technology on the market today in terms of environmental impact.
