Good to see Stuart Galloway joining Retrofit Canada. Deep energy retrofits are where the real battle is won, but it all comes down to whether the financing models actually work for building owners.
Agreed. The technical side of retrofitting is mostly solved. The bottleneck is always the incentive structure and how we account for carbon savings in existing assets.
Wendy Macdonald taking the lead on sustainability and carbon at RJC is a notable move. It shows that engineering firms are moving carbon strategy from a side desk to a national leadership role.
Schneider Electric bringing in a new CFO is standard, but I wonder if the internal focus is shifting more toward the grid edge and storage infrastructure given the current deployment hurdles in North America.
