Some 25% of Canada’s existing residential buildings in Canada’s big cities were built prior to the 1960s. With the push towards greener communities, more efficient buildings, and net-zero carbon emissions, how will those buildings fare? how can we retrofit at a scale that makes an accelerated impact?

In an effort to provide tools that help decision-makers understand how to assess the optimal performance of pre-1960s existing buildings, provide the right incentives to reach that performance, and retrofit these buildings at a scale that makes a difference, we partnered with exceptional organizations and researchers to deliver change through innovative solutions. Ultimately, the objective is to reduce emissions while preserving existing buildings and help owners do the useful thing.
