Webinar: How housing providers can engage with residents on energy retrofits

The Green Municipal Fund’s Sustainable Affordable Housing (SAH) initiative offers support to affordable housing providers—including municipal and not-for-profit organizations and housing co-ops—to construct energy-efficient new builds or retrofit existing affordable housing units that reduce GHG emissions.

Because a deep energy retrofit can be disruptive, engaging with residents is an important part of the process. Join us on Thursday, November 28, at 2 p.m. ET for this webinar that aims to help housing providers develop their own plans for resident engagement that consider the unique circumstances of each project.

What you will learn: 

• How to effectively communicate to residents the challenges and disruptions associated with a deep energy retrofit, as well as the tangible benefits they’ll see as a result
• Examples of best practices for resident engagement, such as training for new equipment
• Lessons learned from previous projects that can be adapted and applied to your own project

Webinar benefits: 

• Explore real-world examples from housing providers who have completed their own projects
• Understand the positive effects of effectively engaging with residents to emphasize benefits such as energy efficiency, cost savings and quality of life
• Learn how SAH’s funding and resources can help your project

Speakers: 

• Kaitlin Carroll, The Atmospheric Fund
• Jon Jackson, Sarcee Meadows Co-op

This webinar will be delivered in English with French simultaneous interpretation.

Funding is delivered through FCM’s Green Municipal Fund and funded by the Government of Canada.
