The federal budget’s plan to retrofit residential buildings falls short of what is needed to reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and create well-paying jobs, experts say. The budget, announced Monday, includes a $4.4-billion investment over five years to improve energy efficiency in residential buildings with projects like replacing oil furnaces or low-efficiency systems, fixing drafty windows and doors, installing solar panels or upgrading wall insulation. But experts estimate the actual cost of retrofitting Canada's residential buildings is more than 14 times that amount. The Pembina Institute, a clean energy think tank, calculates 600,000 dwellings would need to be retrofitted every year from now until 2040 to get all existing housing up to date and energy efficient.
