Episode Notes

Peter Garforth has been leading transformational change his entire life. Now he has his sight set on accelerating the energy transition in communities.

Any credible plan to reduce greenhouse gas emission must address the energy performance of our existing homes and buildings in Canada. Given more than two-thirds of existing our homes and building will still be in use in thirty years, this is no small task. 

The technical potential is there to make a significant contribution. Canadian homes are about half as efficient as global best practice, and simple technologies exist to achieve deep savings. Yet, past retrofit programs have had limited success in impacting the efficiency of the residential sector.

For over a decade, Peter has been advocating for a transformation the retrofit market to make it more attractive to homeowners, contractors, and investors.

In this episode, Peter shares his experience leading transformational change and his recommended approach to residential retrofits if we want to achieve national climate goals.
