The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that space heating accounts for approximately 42 percent of energy use in U.S. residences and about 36 percent of energy use in U.S. commercial buildings.1 Most of us use conventional and widely available fossil fuels like propane, coal, natural gas, and oil. Yes, the demand for this temperature regulation is fundamental. It’s not going away. But the delivery method of that need has prompted bigger, greener thinking and a shift toward emerging technologies.
