Harbourgreene engaged the commercial HVAC industry to assess the HVAC trades readiness for a city’s plan for decarbonization. We advised the city on key demographics and qualifications of trades working on space conditioning and water heating systems in multi-unit residential and commercial office buildings. Harbourgeene developed recommendations based on known barriers and opportunities for both industry, to help ready themselves, and the city, to help support the transition to a low carbon future.
