The Home Performance Stakeholder Council aspires to assist industry stakeholders involved in residential renovation in delivering exceptional services and solutions, priced at affordable levels for consumers, to support the growth of a long-term, sustainable market for home performance related activities that significantly reduce energy use and carbon emissions in homes across the province while enhancing building durability, occupant comfort, and health.

To this end, the HPSC has established six Sector Councils (HVAC, Fenestration, Insulation, Renovation, Energy Advisors, and Utility and Government) composed of key industry players tasked with amalgamating and addressing the fragmented interests, opportunities, and challenges that exist in a home performance industry, which is evolving and growing.

The following Energy Advisor and Service Organization Sector Working Roadmap documents the recommendations made by the Energy Advisor and Service Organization Sector Council to address the issues and opportunities prioritized by the Sector Council. It provides a high-level outline of how and when the industry will get from the EA & SO landscape analysis to the EA & SO Sector 2025 Vision.

In 2025, according to this vision, energy evaluations, energy advisor services, and home energy improvements are carried out at a significantly greater rate than in 2017, stimulating a large and economically vibrant home performance industry and delivering large and measurable energy savings and GHG reductions.

The Roadmap recommendations are directed primarily at industry, by industry, but also include recommendations for Utilities and Government. The recommendations are directed at achieving the following goals in response to the issues identified in Table 1 below. The priority of each recommendation is indicated by the following key:

Roadmap recommendations are prioritized according to when their development must begin in order to meet the 2025 Vision. Some recommendations are dependent on the development of other
recommendations and some will take several years to reach full implementation. High priority
recommendations include those whose development needs to start in 2018, and those which can start right away as soon as resources are available.

This Energy Advisor and Service Organization Sector Working Roadmap herein organizes
recommendations by issue and presents the current situation, goals, and recommendations, along with the suggested lead(s).

This Roadmap has been developed by the Home Performance Sector Council with input from the EA &
SO Sector Council and other industry representatives. The members of the HPSC EA & SO Sector

The information and recommendations within this Roadmap are intended to represent the input of the HPSC EA & SO Sector Council and other industry representatives. However the information and
recommendations within the Roadmap may not be representative of the views or opinions of the broader industry.
