Project Objectives
The objective of this project is to develop a practical and systematic approach to deep energy retrofits that reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for prevalent residential building archetypes in Atlantic Canada.
Expected Results
This project aims to:
- Empower industry professionals to perform deep energy retrofits, generating new economic opportunities within the Atlantic Region building industry.
- Contribute towards increasing energy efficiency and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions in the building industry.
- Accelerate market support for aggregated deep energy retrofits in Atlantic Canada.
- Form a deep energy retrofit community within the Region to increase knowledge and collaboration.
- Support skill and capacity building within the Union of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq communities through their oversight and delivery of a deep retrofit feasibility study of 220 homes within their communities.
