HOME RETROFIT GUIDE

Canada’s pre-1950s buildings are typically uninsulated, and therefore consume more total energy than the transportation sector. The Home Retrofit Guide is an online, interactive building retrofit guide full of advice, best practices, and resources to help homeowners or their contractors insulate vintage houses effectively. From the DIY-er to the first-time homeowner with help, this guide is a great first step to make sustainable choices.

The Guide you see below is the latest edition that I worked on, which took over two years to complete. The research information was gathered by students in our building science labs, and assembled into the graphic book I put together to represent this information in a clear, concise format that the average homeowner could understand. I have uploaded the PDF below, feel free to browse through, who knows, you might learn a thing or two.
