Incentives for Heat Pumps and Other Climate Resilience Retrofits in Multi-Residential Buildings

Whereas climate change is worsening conditions and increasing vulnerabilities in the built environment, and existing multi-unit residential buildings MURBs are some of the most vulnerable and housing the most vulnerable populations; And whereas the CleanBC Better Homes program provides incentives and rebates for some, but not all, dwelling types, excluding MURBs such as high-rises and apartment buildings yet over 30 of British Columbians reside in these dwellings: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request that the Province make the necessary changes to the CleanBC Better Homes program to ensure that all dwelling types are eligible for incentives and rebates for retrofits to ensure the health and safety of all British Columbians, particularly the most vulnerable, while working towards the Provinces GHG reduction targets.
