Can 10 dollars per square foot result in 40% carbon savings?

We’re excited to release our Year 1 report from the Purpose Retrofit Accelerator: A Year of Insights on Progress and Barriers. This report and two case studies ((55 University Ave & 33 Bloor St E) provides insights on cost transparency, current attitudes, and emerging trends on building retrofits across Canada, drawing from participants in The Purpose Retrofit Accelerator.

Developed with CAGBC | Canada Green Building Council, Nada Sutic from Epic Investment Services, and Deb Beurling from BGO with contributions from Ruth Legg from Concert Properties, Marc Pietrobon from GWL Realty Advisors, and Emily Hanna from Crown Realty Partners.
