Is equipment readily available enough to allow the entire building to operate @ 24 VDC?

Seems odd.

The size of conductors to run a HVAC unit on 24 VDC would be huge.

They only mention that the lighting operates at 24DC. I would suspect that larger loads operate at higher voltages.

I missed that part.
