The future Ottawa is filled with efficient, comfortable, resilient, zero-emissions homes.
Getting there, however, is a big job. EnviroCentre’s Future Homes Ottawa project is working to make this future Ottawa vision possible, for residents, trades, planners and everyone who lives or does business in our region.
Future Homes Ottawa is currently in phase two of a three-phase pilot program – click here to learn more about our previous work. To learn about phase two, keep reading!
To reach our regional goal, Future Homes Ottawa is doing three things:
- Raising awareness around deep energy retrofits
- Building a mass residential retrofit model
- Supporting coordinated regional planning on deep residential retrofits
