In this presentation, the executive director of EnviroCentre will walk listeners through the basics of residential retrofits as a path to emissions reduction in Canada. The talk will explore targets, strategies, obstacles and solutions, and will round out with an exploration of Ottawa’s newest retrofit pilot project, an approach that EnviroCentre hopes will pave the way for an emerging retrofit industry and the scale of retrofits required to meet our emissions reduction targets here at home.
