Energy Retrofits: Ramping Up!
To meet our greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, fight global warming and capture the incredible opportunity to build BC’s green economy, BC must greatly upgrade the energy efficiency of its homes and buildings. This can be accomplished by implementing utility-based revolving loans, enhancing government efficiency programs, improving regulations and by applying government “green infrastructure” incentives to building efficiency. Acting on these opportunities would support government’s commitment to “create new jobs as a global leader in clean energy and energy conservation [and] in green building technologies.” [Throne Speech, 25 August 2009]
