Decarbonize Buildings
Condo owners need more, and better, resources to make informed decisions on building decarbonization
Substantial emission reductions will be necessary in all building sectors to meet the city’s emission targets as laid out in TransformTO Net Zero Strategy. The unique ownership structure of condos adds to the complexity of evaluating options and making major decisions, like conducting a deep energy retrofit.
