Project Overview:

A social housing provider in Ontario sought to assess climate risks across its portfolio to safeguard tenant well-being and operational continuity. EnSmart Solutions conducted a detailed risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities and recommend adaptation measures.

Process:

Conducted climate risk assessments across multiple sites, focusing on flood zones, extreme heat exposure and power reliability.
Evaluated physical infrastructure vulnerabilities, resident health risks and operational dependencies (e.g. elevators, HVAC). Reviewed asset management plans and tenant safety procedures to assess current resilience capacity.
Engaged management and operations staff to identify risks and co-develop adaptation options.
Benchmarked findings against best practices and latest requirements for multi-residential housing.

Key Findings and Solutions:

Identified buildings with high exposure to flooding and inadequate drainage infrastructure.
Highlighted gaps in resident communication protocols and preparedness for extreme weather events.
Recommended envelope improvements, emergency power backups and cooling strategies for heatwaves.
Developed an adaptation plan with clear priorities, projected budgets and timelines aligned with capital planning cycles.

Results:

Improved preparedness for extreme weather events, reducing risk to tenants and property.
Integrated adaptation projects into existing asset management plans, minimizing additional costs.
Strengthened internal governance by formalizing climate risk considerations into strategic planning.
Demonstrated commitment to social outcomes by prioritizing tenant safety and comfort.
