Efficiency percentages are the wrong way to look at it. If you instead frame it in terms of tons CO2 equivalent, then locking in the emissions every year between now and 2050 is going to be worse, compared to the alternative of burning a bunch of natural gas for electricity now but gradually phasing it out in favor of wind and solar.
- coryrc 4y agoMost heat pumps aren't going to last 30 years. Passivhaus only needs 1500W maximum of heating, so they usually don't use heat pumps. Wind and solar also lock in natural gas usage, because they don't provide inter-seasonal storage or even intra-day storage.
