The Federal Buildings Initiative (FBI)
Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency offers the FBI to help federal departments and agencies reduce energy and water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Energy-efficient facilities are important: they are good for the environment, promote healthy workplaces for employees, boost productivity and save taxpayers' money.
The FBI's job is to promote private- and public-sector partnerships to plan and implement cost-effective facility upgrades and retrofits. Other levels of government, institutions and private-sector firms also draw on the FBI's experience for help in designing their own energy efficiency programs.
Through the FBI, thousands of federal buildings have already been upgraded, saving millions of dollars and reducing the risks related to climate change.
