ReCover was established to develop solutions for deep retrofits. What we see on the ground is a very fragmented ecosystem where people want retrofits and don't know how to get them. We have building owners with various barriers. We have some very sophisticated building owners who have capacity issues. Either they can't mobilize to get the services they need or they are at the other end of the spectrum. We have a lot of small property owners who own only one or two buildings, and they really don't know how to make these kinds of projects happen.

The greener homes program is what funded our work on the part 9 or single-family level. In that segment of building owners...first of all we have the highest rates of energy poverty in the country. We have some groups that have an extremely difficult time accessing.... There are no programs that help African Nova Scotian property owners get retrofits at all.
