Energy Poverty: Risks and Vulnerability Using Latest Canadian Data

Zoom

Energy poverty is commonly understood to describe the situation where a household is unable to access adequate energy to maintain wellbeing at home. Because it is largely experienced behind closed doors, the diversity of experiences with energy poverty may vary from households to household. This presentation uses latest custom data from Statistics Canada Census 2021 and evidence from research to construct archetypes or ‘user profiles’ of lived experiences with energy poverty. In doing so, we will explore how energy poverty amplifies existing vulnerabilities for Canadian households and make recommendations for targeted and decisive action to mitigate impacts for the most vulnerable households.

EGP Speaker Series 2023: Deep Energy Retrofits

Zoom

Existing buildings have a key role in decarbonizing the built environment. As many of today’s buildings will still be occupied by global net-zero timelines, the transformation and reuse of these buildings is critical. Many existing buildings will need to become zero-carbon to help meet Canada’s 2030 carbon targets and its 2050 decarbonization goal.   Join us and learn more on how retrofitting existing buildings can help meet carbon reduction commitments, as speakers provide an introduction to deep energy retrofits and decarbonization, discuss expectations in operational and embodied carbon, industry codes and standards used in decision making, and funding programs available for deep energy retrofit projects.   This event is supported by the Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC).   Interested in learning more about the Emerging Green Professionals?
