Energy retrofits can deliver major benefits — from lower operating costs and reduced emissions to improved comfort, resilience, and indoor air quality — but knowing where to start and how to move projects forward remains a challenge for many condo owners, property managers, and industry professionals.

This session will provide a practical roadmap for planning and implementing successful retrofit projects. Participants will learn how to assess retrofit opportunities, set project goals, and prepare for implementation while navigating available funding, financing, and support programs. Through real-world case studies, speakers will share lessons learned from projects at different scales and stages of development.

The session will also explore how emerging technologies, integrated design approaches, and innovative retrofit strategies can help projects meet a range of priorities, whether focused on energy efficiency, affordability, occupant comfort, climate resilience, operational performance, or healthier indoor environments. Attendees will gain insights into these innovative approaches, how other buildings have applied them, and the resulting outcomes.
