New York has made history as the first state to finalize a ban on fossil fuels in most new buildings, starting in 2026. Under the groundbreaking All-Electric Buildings Act, developers will need to replace gas-powered systems with cleaner, electric alternatives such as heat pumps—part of a strategy to cut the 31% of statewide emissions generated by buildings while improving indoor air quality (Canary Media).
For architects, engineers, and developers, this isn’t just a policy shift—it’s a design opportunity. Innovative HVAC solutions like ThermaCEILING by Therma-HEXX are already delivering the high performance, efficiency, and aesthetics needed to thrive in an all-electric future.
Why ThermaCEILING is the Ideal Fit for New York’s Gas-Free Vision
ThermaCEILING is a high-efficiency radiant heating and cooling system engineered to align perfectly with the new mandate. Here’s why it stands out:
- Exceptional Efficiency – Up to 300% more efficient than conventional HVAC. Hydronic panels integrate seamlessly with air-to-water heat pumps (such as the Chiltrix CX50, SCOP 4.55) or geothermal systems—no fossil fuels required.
- Space Optimization – Ultra-slim 1.5-inch panels install in ceilings, floors, or walls, freeing up to 20% more usable space for open floor plans or additional levels.
