Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP) for New Buildings

Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency encourages the design and construction of new, energy-efficient commercial, institutional and multi-unit residential buildings and facilities. The Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP) provides design assistance and funding of up to $60,000 for eligible organizations based on building energy savings.

Energy-efficient buildings yield long-term energy savings. Lower operating costs increase the resale value of the building and provide a competitive leasing advantage over standard buildings.

Find out how CBIP funding works. Our buildings, industry and equipment page also offers quick links to initiatives and incentives for other types of facilities.

You can also visit the CBIP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), where you find answers to questions about the Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP) policy and interpretation of the Model National Energy Code for Commercial Buildings (MNECB).
