Sustainable Home Retrofits: Wood Fibre Prefabricated Exterior Energy Retrofits (PEER)
2:00pm - 2:45pm
Workshop Session C
Do you or your clients live in a drafty, uncomfortable house? Are you assuming that renovation will be too expensive or too much of a hassle? Join HSS Design Build to learn if a wood fibre Prefabricated Exterior Energy Retrofit (PEER) could be the solution. Wood fibre is a sustainable, low-carbon insulation material that offers excellent thermal performance and environmental benefits compared to conventional options. PEER uses advanced technology and techniques to address three major sources of heat loss in underperforming buildings, all with minimal disruption, occupants can remain in the home while the retrofit is completed.
