Summary: Energy Efficiency Retrofits and Policy Design for Sustainable Affordable Housing -- The Design of Energy Programs in Canada: A Social Housing Lens -- Beyond Energy Efficiency: Investing in Social Affordable Housing in Vancouver -- Energy Efficiency Retrofits in Social & Affordable Housing in Toronto -- Renovation and Retrofit of Social Housing in Alberta -- Policy Design of New Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programs in Canada -- New Energy Efficient Retrofit Programs in Toronto and Vancouver -- Retrofits for the Future: Lessons from Affordable Housing and Energy Efficiency Programs in Canada.Summary: This book provides the first comparative assessment of the energy-efficiency retrofit programs in the social housing sector of Canadian cities, focusing on program efficiency and effectiveness. The analytical framework explores key policy instruments - regulatory, fiscal and institutional - in relation to major results achieved. The approach is interdisciplinary, supported by rich empirical data from case studies, observations and interviews. The book explores important strategies for the provision of green and affordable housing, while addressing climate change imperatives and resilience issues. This is of great interest to researchers, policy makers, city leaders, professionals and students. Its value added contribution to scholarship is complemented by practical relevance for social housing organisations in countries with a small residual housing sector. It offers valuable lessons for the design, planning and implementation of energy retrofit programs in North America and beyond.PPN: PPN: 1756953600Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-ECF | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEF
