Rental Apartment Retrofit Accelerator Pilot Program
This program is designed to provide Vancouver building owners with access to financial grants and incentives and support services to retrofit and decarbonize buildings.
The program supports a wide range of measures aimed at reducing building greenhouse gas emissions and will prioritize retrofits that have co-benefits for tenants (i.e., have minimal impact on existing tenants, improve livability and indoor comfort, or provide summer cooling).
