Residents will benefit from a building that is more resilient to climate change, has cleaner indoor air, and that will provide increased comfort during extreme weather events.<br></p></div> | <div class="ExternalClassE25E21CB57A544328131D242249CA54A"><h3>Phase 1: Deep energy retrofit</h3>FortisBC is providing significant funding for this project phase as part of the
