摘要：This is the second of two research notes that assess provincial variations in retrofitting behaviour in the context of the Canadian Home Insulation Programme (CHIP) and the Canad ian ail Substitution Programme (COSP). CHIP was designed to upgrade the thermal efficiency of Canadian housing, and COSP was intended to reduce residential dependency on Oi!.1 The first note (Ferguson et al. 1991) examined dwelling characteristics as determinants of retrofitting behaviour. This note studies the importance of the socioeconomic characteristics of households in the decision to retrofi t. Moreover, the results of each study are integrated and considered in light of future conservation incentives.
