Natural Resources Canada ecoENERGY Retrofit
Incentive for Buildings
Natural Resources Canada’s Office of Energy
Efficiency (OEE) offers a financial incentive to
help your organization implement energy-saving projects in commercial
and institutional buildings. The OEE will consider most proven energy
efficiency and renewable energy measures. The incentive is based on the
lowest of the following three amounts:
-
$10 per gigajoule (277.8 kilowatt hours) of estimated annual energy
savings;
-
25 percent of eligible project costs; or
-
$50,000 per project ($250,000 per organization).
The estimated payback of your investment must be at least one year,
after taking into account incentives from all sources.
Each building can have an area no more than 20 000 square
metres (215 279 square feet), and you must continue to use the space for
the same purpose. Organizations that own, manage or lease the following
types of buildings can apply:
-
Commercial and institutional buildings;
-
Provincial, territorial and municipal government buildings;
-
Multi-unit residential buildings (with at least four storeys or a
footprint of at least 600 square metres and a common entrance);
-
Mixed-use commercial/residential buildings.
Visit ecoaction.gc.ca/retrofit to
access the Application Guide and forms, or for information about the
industrial component of the program and complementary incentives. If you
have questions after you have read the materials, you can contact the

The City of
Toronto’s Energy Efficiency Office (EEO) is
responsible for developing and coordinating the implementation of an

20 percent, relative to 1988 levels. The EEO has put together an energy
incentives database of grants, rebates and loans that it hopes to keep
updated in 2008. View: Energy Incentive
