报告摘要:

The ULI Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) convened in May 2024 to develop strategies for scaling up retrofits in Vancouver, British Columbia, focusing on affordable housing as a pathway to achieving net-zero targets. Alexander House, an 81-unit seniors' residence, served as the case study for addressing the challenges and opportunities of building retrofits.

Buildings in Metro Vancouver account for 25% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the area. 80% of the buildings that will exist in 2050 are already built, and to meet Canada's 2050 net zero emission goals, 600,000 homes must be retrofitted each year. While retrofits can enhance energy efficiency and tenant comfort, barriers such as high costs, complex permitting, and limited organizational capacity persist. The TAP sought to develop a roadmap to overcome these challenges and scale retrofit adoption.

Despite advancements in building systems, technology, and energy modeling, key obstacles remain. Many funding and regulatory structures are not aligned with retrofit needs; therefore, the TAP has generated recommendations for stakeholders to implement.

The TAP findings highlight the transformative potential for retrofits,
specifically affordable housing, to reduce emissions and improve tenant
well-being. By addressing these barriers and fostering collaboration,
Vancouver can accelerate retrofit adoption to achieve climate and
housing goals while creating resilient, low-carbon communities.
