SUMMARY:Save money with energy-efficient retrofits and construction
DESCRIPTION:Energy efficiency is often perceived as expensive\, complex\, or out of reach for community housing providers. But what if many of those assumptions are misconceptions? \nWatch this session exploring the realities behind energy performance in community housing\, with Dami Dabiri\, Energy Manager at the BC Non-Profit Housing Association and FCM’s Regional Energy Coach for British Columbia\, and Majed Hargaaya\, Manager of the Regional Energy Coach Program at the Centre. \nDesigned for housing providers\, asset managers\, and sector leaders across Canada\, this session unpacked common myths about energy efficiency and discussed the benefits of environmentally responsible solutions. As a part of the Centre knowledge sharing series\, this webinar explored a retrofit case study from the community housing sector\, Salmo Valley Estates. The speakers highlighted practical strategies and resilient design approaches that strengthen building performance while protecting long-term financial sustainability. \nThis recording also presents the Regional Energy Coach (REC) program\, a national support initiative that helps community housing organizations navigate energy planning\, funding opportunities\, and implementation strategies. \nWhether you are planning a retrofit\, considering new development\, or seeking to improve asset management practices\, this recording provides actionable insights to support informed decision-making. \n  \n“Air sealing and attic insulation: low cost\, high savings. This is the best bang for your buck in almost any affordable housing retrofit. Always think envelope first.” \nMajed Hargaaya\, The Centre \n  \n“The project team is so important\, especially for a multi-measure project like this one. You need a solid team to achieve the best outcomes.” \nDami Dabiri\, BC Non-Profit Housing Association \n  \nWatch the webinar replay: \n \n  \nWant to learn more?
