Housing, retrofits, and building performance
Path to Deep Retrofits
Unlock the potential of your buildings with a proven path to deep energy retrofits. Learn alongside Armstrong Fluid Technologies how to cut energy use, lower carbon emissions, and optimize performance through a clear step-by-step process.
Enabling Decarbonization in Canada’s Condo Sector
Join Sustainable Buildings Canada (SBC) and researcher Yazan Zamel for a compelling webinar that explores the regulatory roadblocks and policy opportunities shaping deep energy retrofits in the condominium sector across Canada.
Climate Friendly Housing Renewal
Canada is in a housing crisis. We need to invest in the growth and renewal of our affordable housing stock.
What Canada Can do to Support Residential Decarbonization
We explore Canadian contractors’ points of view on policy solutions that can strategically transform the industry towards delivering high-quality residential retrofits.
Policy Strategies to Build Affordable, Efficient Homes Quickly
We focus on four sets of technologies that are particularly promising for increasing the potential of housing construction and realizing the opportunity to build efficiently.
Accelerating Building Decarbonization
This presentation introduces the Building Decarbonization Alliance, a cross-sectoral coalition that is working to accelerate the electrification of buildings in Canada.
Empowering municipalities to adopt net zero building codes
Kevin Lockhart introduces the major findings of Efficiency Canada’s The Municipal Guide to Net-Zero Energy Ready Building Codes.
What Municipalities Need to Know About Net Zero Emissions Building Codes
What municipalities need to know about net zero emissions building codes, to prepare for the 2025 net zero emissions building code.
Building Our Way to Net Zero
Targets have been laid out for the construction industry – get new buildings to net zero by the early 2030s. Not long afterwards, we’ll do the same to existing buildings in Canada. But how?

Energy poverty in Canada
Addressing Energy Poverty in Canada
As home energy costs continue to strain household budgets, governments and utilities across Canada are rolling out programs to improve affordability and reduce energy poverty.
Equity and Emissions Performance Standards
Efficiency Canada’s Kat Turner discusses our research on how the City of Toronto can integrate equity considerations into green buildings policy, and learnings from other jurisdictions that have already implemented BEPS.
Voices of Home Energy Justice
Community-led approaches to deep energy retrofits
Early learnings and successes from the newly launched Home Upgrades Program, designed to reduce energy poverty in Alberta.
Rental Efficiency as Energy Justice
Rental energy efficiency policy is really hard to get right. Abhilash Kantamneni, research associate at Efficiency Canada, explains why.
Lessons from the U.S
Steve and Diana join us to talk about low-income programming in the U.S., including the Weatherization Assistance Program and Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
Efficiency For All
Energy poverty needs to be prioritized at the national level if the transition to net-zero emissions is to be fair and just, and energy efficiency should benefit all Canadians.
