As an ongoing field study research project, Renovation 2050 will quantify the theoretical and practical issues associated with designing and constructing a sustainable whole building retrofit in the urban setting of Toronto, Canada.

​

Although several single family dwellings have been successfully designed and constructed with optimal sustainability as the goal, a key difference between the current projects and Renovation2050 is the access to published data and analysis.  It is anticipated the data presented from Renovation2050 will be used to direct future efforts to establish protocol on the design and construction of sustainable urban renovation projects.
