Deep Retrofits. Making existing homes net-zero.
About 1/3 of greenhouse gases come from the buildings we use right now. 70 per cent will still be standing in 2050.
We can’t address climate change just by building new net-zero homes. We need solutions that make the homes we live in right now net-zero to preserve a livable climate. Deep Retrofits are the solution.
Featured Case Studies
Rutherford Cottage
Rutherford Cottage, built by Alberta’s first premier in 1908, received a deep retrofit in 2023 that preserved its historic charm while bringing the building up to net-zero standards.
The Unhurried House
This home is a net-zero ready restoration of an 1871 farmhouse by the owner. The project blended heritage charm with sustainable innovation and repurposed materials for resilient, mindful living.
