The best retrofits do more than cut energy use. They can make homes more comfortable, costs more manageable, and buildings more resilient.

At Peterborough Housing Corporation, four organizations worked together to make those benefits possible, bringing different perspectives and expertise to a major retrofit project.

From improving the building envelope and supporting electrification to engaging tenants and navigating government programs, this panel takes you behind the scenes to explore how collaboration helped turn the project into a success.

You’ll leave with a better understanding of how to:

· Deliver more for tenants: Explore how retrofit decisions can improve comfort, satisfaction and affordability for residents.

· Build for resilience: Learn how improvements to the building envelope, electrification and other measures can strengthen buildings against extreme weather while improving performance.

· Make the most of every opportunity: Discover how to bring the right partners together and leverage available government programs to get more from your retrofit investment.

Take away practical lessons for planning a more holistic retrofit that delivers benefits for tenants, buildings and housing providers.
