The building and construction sectors are responsible for at least 39% of global carbon emissions. The majority of global housing stock that will be inhabited in 2050 already exists (70-90% in Canada) and more than 67% of that building stock was constructed with no energy code in place. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reductions from building energy retrofits are proven to be cost-effective and can be realized more quickly that reductions in other sectors (Hoicka 2020). A harmonized building energy retrofits initiative provides a timely and compelling opportunity to simultaneously tackle urgent climate change mitigation, clean energy transition, affordable housing, natural resource and economic imperatives. Equally important in the upgrading of the building stock is to address inevitable adaptation and resiliency ultimatums as climate change marches on at a pace we now know to be more aggressive than anticipated. In the face of immense environmental, social and economic challenges exacerbated by the current global health crisis, international agencies, governments, and institutes are calling for considerable and urgent investment into building retrofit measures. However, even with such a substantial investment, structured building energy retrofit platforms, effective business and legislative mechanisms, and overall capacity does not exist for implementation at scale. ReCONstruct will address key conceptual, knowledge, technology gaps to mount a fully functioning Building Energy Retrofit program and substantially contribute to the development of decarbonization pathways for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors. The goal of the R&D program is to invent a model 'turn-key' deep energy retrofit process solution capable of meeting large-scale demand. The benefits to Canadians are profound. The direct and indirect benefits are extensive from a more resilient, durable, comfortable, affordable, healthier living environment and communities to fortifying and extending the capacity of the hydroelectric grid, meeting climate change mitigation targets, developing new 'green' markets, high skilled job creation, and national energy security. It could be argued that these are necessities rather than benefits.

建筑和建造业至少占全球碳排放量的39%。到2050年，全球大部分可居住的住房存量已经存在（加拿大占70-90%），其中超过67%的建筑存量是在没有能源代码的情况下建造的。通过建筑节能改造减少温室气体（GHG）已被证明具有成本效益，并且可以比其他部门更快地实现减排（Hoicka 2020）。协调一致的建筑物能源改造倡议提供了一个及时和令人信服的机会，可以同时处理紧急的气候变化减缓、清洁能源过渡、负担得起的住房、自然资源和经济需要。同样重要的是，随着气候变化以我们现在所知的比预期更快的速度前进，在建筑存量升级方面，要解决不可避免的适应和复原力最后通牒。面对当前全球健康危机加剧的巨大环境、社会和经济挑战，国际机构、政府和机构呼吁对建筑改造措施进行大量和紧急的投资。然而，即使有如此大量的投资，结构化的建筑能源改造平台、有效的商业和立法机制以及整体能力都不存在，无法大规模实施。ReCONstruct将解决关键的概念，知识，技术差距，以建立一个全面运作的建筑能源改造计划，并为建筑，工程和建筑（AEC）部门的脱碳途径的发展做出重大贡献。研发计划的目标是发明一种能够满足大规模需求的模型“交钥匙”深度能源改造工艺解决方案。这对加拿大人来说好处是深远的。直接和间接的好处是广泛的，从更有弹性，持久，舒适，负担得起，更健康的生活环境和社区，到加强和扩大水电电网的能力，实现气候变化减缓目标，开发新的“绿色”市场，创造高技能就业机会和国家能源安全。可以说，这些都是必需品，而不是好处。
