Friends, we have something exciting to share! Introducing the new EAC publication: A Panelized Retrofit Toolkit, which includes a case study of a multi-unit residential building in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The case study was conducted as a collaboration between zzap Architecture & Planning and RDH, which specializes in building science and provides expert modelling, led by Principal Zahra Williams.

 

With funding from HCi3, the EAC worked with these partners to study the potential impacts of an Energiesprong project in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Sean Kelly Consulting added national context to the study, looking at what has been done and what is in progress elsewhere. 

 

Our toolkit and study will help others interested in this method assess and better understand the economics and energy-savings potential of this method. There are technical details included, but it should be accessible and useful to anyone with interest in the method. 

 

I hope you will find the resulting toolkit interesting and useful enough to read and share. You can find it and supporting documents at https://ecologyaction.ca/our-work/energy-climate/energy-efficiency#building-retrofits.
