Episode #91: What It Takes to ReCover - Lorrie Rand, ReCover, and Betsy Agar, Efficiency Canada

Lorrie Rand, co-founder of ReCover (a Halifax-based building science research non-profit), has completed a big study into how much deep retrofits might help the envelope performance of 10 different types of Part 3 buildings in Atlantic Canada. Crucially, her team also looked at total cost of ownership to evaluate whether upgrading commercial buildings would ever pay off through energy savings. Betsy Agar of Efficiency Canada joins the conversation to put Rand's findings into a national context and add her insights on how we can make energy retrofits feasible.
