Accelerating Building Transformation in Atlantic Canada

As Atlantic Canada’s deep retrofit accelerator, ReCover is building the ecosystem needed to turn aging, inefficient buildings into resilient, low carbon assets. We bring together applied research, workforce capacity building, advocacy, and direct support for building owners — removing the barriers that keep deep retrofit projects from moving forward.

When building owners, policymakers, and communities have a clear roadmap, credible guidance, and actionable insights, deep retrofit targets shift from overwhelming to achievable.

Why deep retrofits matter

Deep retrofits help Canada achieve significant energy savings, enhance valuation, and cut greenhouse gas emissions, moving us closer to our climate goals. They also make buildings more resilient and comfortable, while creating local jobs.

Building Transformation Program

This initiative is a deep retrofit accelerator program that helps you plan and deliver deep retrofits tailored to your building’s needs. It ensures your project stays on time, on budget, and focused on performance.

Capacity Building

The deep retrofit industry faces a critical shortage of skilled labour and training, and a lack of clear pathways into the field. We’re investing in people and communities through job shadowing, and creating opportunities for professional training and market research to accelerate sustainable building upgrades across the region.
