Proof over Promises: Cold Climate Multifamily Retrofit Results
This panel will feature post-retrofit results for multiple decarbonization projects across cold climates, with the results presented in a systematic way to show lessons about systems, holistic projects, and cross-cutting insights. We will then open to a facilitated engagement with the audience to share their post retrofit results. Session details will include energy, demand, operational costs, capital costs and operator & resident feedback.
Session Chairs
Session Speakers
Interpret actual energy, comfort, and cost data from multifamily decarbonization projects in cold climates.
Apply lessons from completed cold climate decarbonization projects in their work (whether in projects, programs, policy or financing).
Identify common barriers to data collection and transparency—including confidentiality, inconsistent reporting formats, and organizational silos—and explore strategies to overcome them.
Reframe success metrics in retrofit projects to emphasize actual measurable performance.
