approximately one-third of the electricity a coal plant produces reaches the end user, Arnold said, and the Mitsubishi Electric system has a Coefficient of Performance (COP) between 250 and 300 percent. “The fact that it’s almost three times as efficient as your typical 95-percent-efficient furnace helps offset the coal plant’s inefficiency as well as transmission and grid losses,” he said. “Thinking about the true calculation from power plant to house, we’re hoping to achieve a 1-to-1 relationship, if not better.” Engineer Jonathan Cohen, who owns Imagine Energy, added that these indoor units have an infrared i-see SensorTM that reads a variety of different surfaces to continually monitor room temperature and adjust it accordingly. “While other systems measure the air temp
