Retrofitting a house is simply upgrading it so that it will keep the heat in. Retrofitting also means including energy –efficiency measures in all your renovation and repair activities. This book tells you how to go about retrofitting your home. It deals with houses of all kinds in all parts of Canada. It does not deal with apartment or commercial buildings, although some of the information presented here may be useful. This book is designed to serve both the experienced do-it-yourselfer and the novice willing to give it a try. It is also a useful consumer guide for homeowners who intend to hire a contractor to undertake retrofit work. If you rent, this book offers many low-cost measures that will save you money and make your house more comfortable.
