Strata condominiums across Canada account for almost 20 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions.

Many condo dwellers are asking how they can replace aging infrastructure and strengthen climate resilience of their homes.

Strata Energy Advisor program guides strata-owned residential condos on how to lower emissions and boost efficiency.

Strata strata complex in Vancouver faced at least $30,000 bill to replace boiler with updated natural gas system.

One option is to install hot water heat pump system, which would be three to four times more efficient than the new gas boiler.

Strata Energy Advisor program is helping guide strata through this crisis.

At Salsbury Heights , the building now has six EV owners and potentially more to come.

It's inevitable that with climate change, this will need to be on the radar of strata buildings that historically have not needed it in Vancouver ’s climate, de Weerdt said.

His latest idea, no less daunting, is to find a way for residents to install their own heat pumps.
