Federal Government Invests in Residential Energy Retrofits

The Federal government, through Natural Resources Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada, announced an investment of $4.4 million into the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) to fund energy retrofits in houses and low-rise multi-unit residential buildings across Canada to demonstrate how to achieve net-zero-energy-ready performance in residential units.

The funding is provided through Natural Resources Canada’s Green Infrastructure - Energy Efficient Buildings Program. This program supports research in the subject of updating building codes for existing buildings and net-zero-energy-ready buildings.

“Upgrading our homes to be more energy-efficient will get us a long way to our climate targets, help Canadians save money on energy costs and create good jobs in our communities. Our government is pleased to help homeowners across Canada cut pollution from their households.”

The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson
Minister of Natural Resources
