What is the economic potential for the retrofit sector?

The economic potential from the retrofit sector represents $1.3 trillion nationally in retrofit construction activity serving 130 million homes. If each home that could benefit from retrofit work invested $10,000 in energy saving projects, we could realize 650,000 direct, 650,000 indirect, and 1,300,000 induced jobs sustainable for 10 years across the country (estimates based on the Department of Commerce1’s RIM model).
