Contractor Supply Constraints in the Chicago Retrofit Market

Collaborative report on the capacity of retrofit workers for the scale of change necessary in Chicago.

This collaborative report has as its primary goal to support a robust auditor and contractor market that expands quality supply in pace with anticipated market growth.

Questions and issues raised in the paper include:

  • As retrofit demand increases, are there potential supply constraints that might impede market growth?
  • Are there supply-side opportunities to drive market emergence?
  • If product and supply- side market development will not naturally occur efficiently, how can constraints be eliminated and opportunities fostered?
