Yes, Anne, many millions. It’s predicted that 50% of the homes in the U.S. that exist today will still be with us in 2050. They’ve all gotta be fixed; it will be a different world then. We don’t know much, but we do know that!

I’ll be interested to hear more details on these retrofits. I live in a 70’s era house that I have insulated and tightened up as best I can. There are millions of such dwellings and they won’t all be torn down for a long time to come, so we have to do whatever we can.

Excellent post…well written as always…summarizes the process of reusing instead of razing…and hints at the intricacies of deep energy retrofit. Informative.

Despite the inability to call it Deep Energy Retrofit the project demonstrates real energy conservation improvement…small but additive to resolving a global dilemma

Progress.

Thanks for posting the story.
