Basically, the answer to your question is to create the conditions conducive to an energy-to-performance ratio of 20:80.
My understanding and my experience [Technical difficulty—Editor] Canada's housing stock. That stock is pretty inefficient. The stock's energy efficiency, production and storage need improving. I quite agree with what the Mitrex representatives said.
The only problem is the slow pace of the transformation across the housing stock. It's a people-dominated sector, and people have a hard time changing their habits. If all we do is keep focusing on subsidies as an incentive to change, we will not reach our targets anytime soon. In short, a combination of penalties and subsidies is needed to speed up the transformation.
People take the path of least resistance. The first option is digital technologies that promote energy efficiency. They do not require a big investment in equipment. People don't have to make a slew of changes to increase their energy efficiency. Many of the artificial intelligence devices already on the market are interconnectable and have the ability to monitor all of the electromechanical systems on the premises. People can achieve at least 20% in energy savings without investing in any equipment. Those efficiency gains are significant when you consider the entire housing stock.
The best thing to do is not to produce more energy, but to save energy. That eliminates the burden of having to produce more.
