Summary:
Deep retrofits are essential to reaching net-zero, but they remain complex, costly, and difficult to coordinate.
Retrofit Canada’s Retrofit Roadmap aims to change that. In this webinar, Peter Amerongen walks us through the Retrofit Roadmap: a practical, end-to-end guide designed to help project teams plan, sequence, and deliver deep retrofits more effectively. Rather than focusing on isolated upgrades, the roadmap emphasizes whole-building thinking and long-term planning to avoid expensive mistakes, missed opportunities, and locked in long term emissions.
The Retrofit Roadmap is based on deep experience designing and building successful deep retrofits. It supports homeowners, building owners, energy advisors, contractors, designers, and policymakers in making informed decisions across the full retrofit journey. It helps users align short-term actions with long-term goals, coordinate upgrades at the right time, and prioritize measures that improve comfort, indoor air quality, energy performance, and lifecycle value. Hosted by ENBIX and Retrofit Canada, this session highlights how better planning and sequencing can unlock healthier buildings, lower operating costs, and stronger outcomes on the path to net-zero.
