Launched by Natural Resource Canada in February 2023, the Deep Retrofit Accelerator Initiative (DRAI) provides funding to organisations and projects that facilitate the development of deep retrofits in commercial, institutional, and mid- or high-rise multi-unit residential buildings in Canada.

The objectives of the Deep Retrofit Accelerator Initiative are to:
• build capacity for, and address barriers to, deep retrofit project development and implementation
• facilitate the development of deep retrofit projects in Canada
• contribute to transforming the buildings sector in support of the Government of Canada’s climate goals
