The Power of Energy Efficient Renovations: Why Building Upgrades Are Key to Fighting Climate Change

Renovations are not only a popular way to update and modernize homes, offices and other structures but also a critical component in reducing carbon emissions and achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. The existing building stock is responsible for a significant portion of global carbon emissions, with energy inefficient buildings being a major contributor.

According to a report by the Financial Times, there is a large energy efficiency gap in the UK housing stock, with many buildings falling short of their potential energy performance levels. Unsurprisingly, old buildings in the UK are seen as one of the primary factors contributing to this

Much like the designer showcase, which was founded in 1965 and is considered one of the country’s oldest home and garden tours, the estate has a Pasadena legacy of its own. Two-plus acres from mining magnate Lucky Baldwin’s Rancho Santa Anita land holdings were carved out when WL Stewart, then president of Union Oil Company, bought the former citrus orchard as a wedding gift for his son, Arthur, and his wife, Ruth Nicholson Stewart .

House Renovation

The inside of Karen and Darryl Dagenais’s house looks as if it’s under construction. No drywall, electrical switches or lights. And only a couple of plugs to power the kitchen appliances.

The two said they had to rip out all the plaster and insulation last year because it had been badly damaged from rain water poured into the house through the tarps serving as a temporary roof.

“It was basically like Niagara Falls in our home,” Karen said, adding the roof had been removed during a renovation project to add two more levels to their back-split home in Windsor’s Forest Glade area.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS

So much for all the advantages the Maple Leafs brought in Game 1 against the Florida Panthers. Now it’s about getting even.

Extra rest, home ice, more power plays and the momentum from their first series win in 19 years all evaporated when the Cats disrupted their system and the Leafs couldn’t re-adjust in time during a 4-2 loss.

Wednesday was all about repair work, with almost the entire team reporting for an optional skater and coach Sheldon Keefe gathering with his staff in the video room.

As Game 1 progressed, he went back to the proven forward duo of Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, creating a killer trio skill with rookie Matthew Knies. But they’re not the most rugged Leafs and a prime target for Florida’s forecheck.

Keefe hinted they will stay together Thursday, meaning William Nylander will have to find his way
