I downloaded the "small office" prototype idf model from DOE website. This model is using both heat pump and boiler to supply the heating load of the building. I want to change the model to be 100% electric (no natural gas use), but I don't know how. Any help?

I assumed that you use EnergyPlus, in this case you can simply change the fuel type for the boiler from natural gas to electricity in the IDF file
