SECOND RETROFIT CASE STUDY   

Today we publish our second case study about retrofits we undertook on Toronto Community Housing buildings. This latest site had numerous energy challenges, like old, over-sized, inefficient boilers and inefficient lighting and ventilation systems. 

A key result: We reduced overheating in the winter by 59 per cent by installing correctly sized, high-efficiency boilers.

TAF REVIEWS NEW CLIMATE TARGETS

Last week the City of Toronto declared a climate emergency, joining many other GTHA municipalities that had already done so. Crucially, the declaration was accompanied by stronger carbon reduction targets and new actions.

NEW WAY TO TRACK EMISSIONS 

TAF-funded research out of the University of Toronto has resulted in an on-road emission inventory using traffic count data. The City of Toronto is now using this tool to track and analyze transportation emissions.
