ABOUT US
Making Canada's building stock efficient, one building at a time.
OUR VISION
Canada’s buildings are healthy, resilient, and environmentally responsible.
The ReCover Initiative was founded in 2020 with a mission to develop deep retrofit solutions that respond to the climate crisis at speed and scale. We achieve our mission through research and development, programs and services to building owners, and capacity-building activities for industry.
As the deep retrofit accelerator for Atlantic Canada, we are creating alliances to transform the building sector in Atlantic Canada.
We are funded by NRCAN, the Trottier Family Foundation, the Echo Foundation, and the McConnell Foundation.
Our headquarters is in Nova Scotia. We acknowledge that we are in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People.
WHAT WE DO
BUILDING OWNERS
ReCover works with owners of commercial, institutional, multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) to identify, optimize, and implement deep retrofits. We offer implementation support and help with identifying financial incentive opportunities.
INDUSTRY
We undertake research and product development for industry. We create opportunities to transfer knowledge on deep retrofits with existing industry partners, youth, and underrepresented communities.
COMMUNITIES
We engage and collaborate with Indigenous communities and equity-deserving groups, including African Nova Scotians, to promote deep retrofit initiatives and address socio-economic disparities in these communities.
