Ottawa Climate Action Fund reposted this
📣 #BreakingNews ↳ TAF and TCHC's most ambitious building #retrofit yet, featuring geothermal #heatpumps and overcladding is underway at 575 Danforth Road, a low-rise seniors’ apartment building in Toronto’s Birchmount Park neighbourhood. This latest project with Toronto Community Housing will target an 80% reduction in carbon emissions, equivalent to a Passive House standard for retrofits. Planned upgrades will create a healthier, more comfortable indoor environment for seniors, including adding cooling as a resilience measure against #ExtremeHeat. Julia Langer, TAF CEO, explains why this latest project is so important beyond its #EmissionsReduction potential, “it’s another example that it’s possible to achieve value for housing providers, residents, the local economy, and the environment.” Sean Baird, President and CEO of Toronto Community Housing, said he’s proud of ongoing partnerships with TAF because it enables TCHC to take #ClimateAction by lowering emissions and becoming more #EnergyEfficient while ensuring tenants stay safe and comfortable during extreme heat. Tom Hunter, CEO of Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation, adds this initiative demonstrates investments in #LowCarbon solutions benefit both TSCH residents and the City of Toronto by reducing our collective carbon footprint. This project is funded by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund through its @Sustainable Affordable Housing program (supported by the Government of Canada) TCHC, and TAF.
