The study focused on pre-1990 buildings, evaluating their energy performance, carbon impact, and retrofit potential.
Using representative archetypes, RDH conducted energy and carbon modeling to assess retrofit pathways. Stakeholder engagement with housing providers and municipalities informed the analysis with on-the-ground insights into implementation barriers and policy gaps.
The final report provides a data-driven framework to guide regional planning, prioritize high-impact retrofits, and align incentives with Metro Vancouver’s climate and housing goals.
