Originally presented at the Retrofit Canada Conference 2025, this document highlights how the ReCover Initiative addresses stakeholder hesitation toward deep energy retrofits through transparent, evidence-based approaches. It outlines:
- The Challenge: Acknowledges the hesitation among stakeholders to invest or participate in retrofit projects.
- The Solution: Describes the creation of an Atlantic Canada Building Stock Database, mapping 1.2 million buildings across four provinces and capturing data on building typologies, energy use, retrofit history, and cost signals.
- Outcomes: Explains how this data enables the development of Deep Retrofit Roadmaps—identifying scalable archetypes, addressing equity and housing needs, and quantifying financial and carbon impacts.
- Stakeholder Value: Shows how municipalities, utilities, contractors, and funders benefit from trusted data that clarifies project scope, prioritizes high-impact retrofits, and justifies investments.
