Energy efficient renovations

This program is aimed at encouraging renovations that will improve the thermal envelope of buildings to make them more energy efficient. It offers financial assistance for energy efficient work on the building envelope, such as: replacing the windows, insulating the walls, insulating the roof, sealing the building, installing thermal screens for greenhouses, etc.

Benefits of the Program

Reduce your energy costs

Improving thermal envelope helps to reduce your energy consumption, and by extension, your operating costs. It could also increase the resale value of the building.
