Many of those will require deep retrofits to achieve a BER B2 rating. It would be a fair assessment to say that many of the houses that are being done are not the worst cases. They are not the houses with an F or G rating. Some of those are being done but what I am trying to understand is, if we are only doing 8,400 deep retrofits, and many of these homes will require a deep retrofit, and our target is still 500,000 by 2030, how we are going to climb that mountain in the short period of time.
