03 — Neighbourhood Prioritization & Targeting

Rank postal codes by normalized thermal intensity within structure type groups. Identify priority neighbourhoods for retrofit incentive targeting.

3.1 — Load Normalized Results

3.2 — Within-Group Ranking and Priority Quartile

3.3 — Priority Postal Code Map

Visualize which postal codes are flagged as priority vs. non-priority.

3.4 — Priority Targeting Table

3.5 — Thermal Intensity Distribution: Priority vs. Non-Priority

3.6 — Sensitivity Analysis: Normalization Parameters

How sensitive is the ranking to the assumed basement heating fraction and floor height?

3.7 — Year-Over-Year Monitoring Potential

If the screening is refreshed annually, changes in postal code thermal intensity can serve as a macro-level M&V signal for neighbourhood-scale retrofit programs.

3.8 — Export Targeting Output

---

Summary: The screening identified the top quartile of postal codes by normalized thermal intensity within each structure type group. These neighbourhoods represent the strongest candidates for targeted retrofit incentive programs — where building envelopes are underperforming relative to their building stock characteristics, and where incentive dollars are most likely to produce measurable gas savings.
