What are resilient home retrofits?
Resilient Home Retrofits can help increase a home’s ability to withstand and recover from weather events and climate related emergencies through resiliency upgrades made inside and outside of the home. Our goal is to empower homeowners to protect themselves from climate risks by sharing information about home retrofit solutions. Check out the resources for homeowners below and learn our Resilient Home Retrofits Pilot Project.
Flood Resilient Residential Retrofits Handbook
A practical guide for implementing flood resiliency measures in existing structures.
This handbook is designed to support homeowners or contractors in understanding and implementing measures to enhance the flood resilience of single-family residential properties. Drawing from expertise in flood resilience and practical knowledge from experienced contractors, this handbook provides a step-by-step guide to improve the resiliency of single-family residential properties against flooding.
Resilient Home Retrofit Pilot Project
Helping homeowners prepare for the impacts of flooding.
In 2023, Clean Foundation began working with homeowners from specific communities within the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) and the Town of New Glasgow to participate in a pilot project designed to help address overland flood risks to homes in both urban and rural areas of these regions.
Selected participants received a FREE flood risk assessment and a FREE home energy assessment. Based on these assessments, upgrades will be made to increase their home’s resiliency at no cost to the homeowner.
Applications to participate in the Resilient Home Retrofit Pilot Project are now closed.
