Both New York and Vancouver are moving methodically toward electrification of EXISTING buildings through retrofits. In New York City old multi-unit residential buildings are being insulated and electrified with the tenants still in them! How are they accomplishing this? In this webinar, Chris Higgins, Green Building Planner from the City of Vancouver, talked about new retrofit rules, development and implementation, Council business cases, accompanying incentives, regulations, training and other supports.
Chris’s presentation starts at 31.41
