Transforming Income-Qualified Home Energy Retrofit Programs in BC

The purpose of this project is to identify improvements and alternatives to widely accepted program shortcomings and recommend a viable path forward for an improved income-qualified retrofit program. An income-qualified retrofit program, which centres equity and energy poverty in its mandate and its execution, has the potential to catalyze significant retrofit activity in B.C., decrease energy emissions, decrease energy poverty and improve comfort, health and well-being for a significant number of households historically underserved by ratepayer funded retrofit programs.
