ecoENERGY Retrofit Incentive for Buildings

Owners of small and medium-sized buildings in the commercial and institutional sectors often lack the financial and technical resources to make energy improvements.

Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency now offers the ecoENERGY Retrofit Incentive for Buildings, the commercial/institutional component of the ecoENERGY Retrofit financial incentives for existing homes, buildings and industrial processes. If you have not yet started a new energy efficiency project, you could receive the lesser of $10 per gigajoule of estimated energy savings or 25 percent of eligible project costs.

The Second Call for Proposals period runs from October 15 to December 14, 2007, and the next deadline will be announced in December 2007. When applying, you will need to provide a pre-project energy audit of your buildings. As well, you cannot incur any costs related to the project until you receive a signed Contribution Agreement.
