As governments begin focusing their emissions-reduction plans, policies and regulations on existing buildings, the market is responding. The demand for retrofit-related services and products is growing, but so is the supply. Bondi Energy, headquartered in Toronto, is one of a handful of Canadian companies that provide the full range of services required to decarbonize a building’s heating system, typically with Daikin or Innova electric heat pumps. They take care of design, project management and installation and have decarbonized over 3,000 residential suites in multi-family buildings. And they now have an office in BC. Join ZEBx, Bondi Energy and Mat 4Site Engineers for this last Decarb Lunch before our summer break. Thanks to the financial support of BC Hydro and City of Vancouver, this event is free of charge!
