SAVE ENERGY. SAVE MORE.
    • Save on energy costs.
    • Save on maintenance.
    • Increase comfort and safety.
    • Decrease your carbon footprint.

The Commercial Buildings Retrofit Program has been designed to help owners and operators of commercial buildings reduce energy consumption, increase competitiveness, and create healthier, safer, and more comfortable workspaces for both their teams and customers.

We provide financial incentives of up to $3,300 towards an energy audit of your building, up to $100,000 towards electricity-saving projects. For a limited time, you can also get 25% back – up to a maximum of $1 Million per entity – on eligible costs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, through the Government of Canada’s Low Carbon Economy Leadership Fund. Federal funding is available until December 2023 or until funds are depleted.
