Chapter Chapter 1 in Energy Efficient Affordable Housing, 2021, pp 1-11 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter introduces the rationale for the comparative research in the book and its objectives. It situates this first assessment of the energy-efficiency retrofit programs in the social housing sector of Canadian cities in a theoretical framework focused on policy design. The chapter outlines an analytical framework for evaluation of program efficiency and effectiveness with links to key policy instruments—regulatory, financial and institutional—in relation to major results achieved. The approach is interdisciplinary, supported by rich empirical data from case studies, observations and interviews. The structure of the book systematically presents the results of decade-long energy efficiency retrofit programs in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. It offers valuable lessons for the design, planning and implementation of energy retrofit programs in Canada and beyond.
