Last year we said, deep retrofits are no longer an ‘if’, but a ‘how.’ Now we’ve got the how, and the answer is retrofit market development, a proven pathway to rapidly developing and maturing the systems and economy required to successfully decarbonize all our homes and buildings. This includes originating and undertaking major retrofit projects; turning financial barriers into economic opportunities; and standardizing key elements of this work to ensure strong and consistent outcomes. We need retrofit goods and service providers to be able to engage readily with home and building owners and support this major transition for our buildings with strong social, environmental, and economic outcomes. Find out how TAF is tackling retrofit market development in the GTHA, what the team has learned in Year 1 of operating the GTHA’s Retrofit Accelerator, and what that tells us about what’s still ahead.
