Renewing Homes is a long-form podcast about residential retrofits and the real-world complexity of improving existing homes. Hosted by Ben Hildebrandt, the show features thoughtful conversations with builders, designers, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders working across Canada and North America.

Episodes explore building science, retrofit strategy, house-as-a-system thinking, workforce challenges, policy, and the practical trade-offs involved in improving homes for comfort, durability, efficiency, and long-term performance.

Whether you work in construction, design, research, or program delivery, Renewing Homes is a space for deeper conversations about what it takes to create better homes through better retrofits.
