Energy Efficiency:
An Introduction
Join the
thousands of British Columbian homeowners and commercial building owners
who are saving money on their energy bills and improving the comfort of
their homes and offices.
The Ministry of
Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources’ new
Energy Efficient Buildings: A Plan for B.C.
benefits BC residents in the following ways:
 | an average
payback on energy efficiency investments to be realized in five years
for all building types |
| energy cost
savings of $600 - $5,800 over 15 years for each new home, over and above
investment costs |
|
improved comfort and indoor air quality in our homes and
businesses |
| decreased demand
for energy which helps keep customer rates low |
|
Healthy Home |
The new Energy
Efficient Buildings strategy describes new voluntary energy performance
targets for new and existing buildings of all types, and heating, cooling
and lighting technology.
|
To support these
energy efficiency changes, tax exemptions and rebate programs are offered
by the provincial and federal governments and industry.
|
 |
Communities are
also getting on board, developing energy efficiency programs for their
buildings and municipal operations.
