Sustainable Biz Canada interviewed Retrofit Canada's Peter Amerongen and homeowner Jim Sandercock about the energiesprong-inspired deep retrofit of Jim's home Butterwick Projects is leading, the first retrofit of its kind in North America.
These are just a couple of the great quotes in the piece.
“There are eight million single-family houses in Canada and they have a lot bigger GHG impact than multifamily, right from the get-go. We realized we needed to very quickly adapt this system to single-family houses and we applied for and got a grant from SSRIA (Smart Sustainable Resilient Infrastructure Association) to do three single-family houses,” said Peter Amerongen, Retrofit Canada treasurer and Butterwick managing partner.
“Really what Peter and the Butterwick team are doing, is doing knowledge transfer from one continent to another, and then perfecting that system or perfecting that method,” Sandercock said.
