To evaluate the potential for carbon reduction through building electrification in large urban areas.
Comparative analysis of New York City and other global cities over 2 million population
Utilization of 2022 verified energy consumption data and U.S. EPA emissions factors
Modeling future scenarios for electrification and renewable energy additions
Buildings in NYC accounted for 62% of emissions from natural gas and fossil fuels.
Electrification would increase annual electricity demand by 29.96 TWh, an 80% increase compared to 2022.
Only 37% of increased demand could be met by upcoming renewable projects.
