Alberta Ecotrust Retrofit Accelerator
Guiding your sustainable building upgrades
About
Alberta Ecotrust Retrofit Accelerator offers free coaching services to guide building owners and managers through making sustainable upgrades to their buildings, known as “deep retrofits.” These go beyond standard upgrades and take a whole-building approach to optimizing a building to reduce its emissions, energy consumption and operating costs.
Free coaching for building owners and managers includes:
Day-to-day assistance throughout retrofit planning, design and implementation.
Retrofit plans tailored to your unique needs, barriers and budgets.
Solutions for integrating retrofits into your building’s regular upkeep schedule.
Uncovering the benefits and potential cost-savings associated with retrofits.
Exploring various funding, financing and grant options.
Providing partial funding for studies like energy assessments and business case development.

Working together with industry leaders
The program also aims to reduce emissions from buildings on a larger scale to ensure that deep retrofits are accessible for building owners and managers now, and for years to come.
To do this, we are working collaboratively with industry leaders to support the development of Alberta’s sustainable retrofit industry through capacity building, training, peer-to-peer networking, and research. We are also expanding Alberta Ecotrust’s Emissions-Neutral Buildings Information Exchange (ENBIX) to include events, training, and research related to deep energy retrofit topics.
