National
Incentive Programs
Natural
Resources Canada: Buildings Group
Buildings
Group staff are working with Canada’s building industry to develop a new
generation of technologies which improve energy efficiency, indoor air quality,
durability and comfort while facilitating environmentally responsible design,
construction, renovation and operation of residential and commercial buildings.
Initiatives
include green buildings, eco-efficient houses, the international Super ETM
house, simulation software and tools, distributed power, and passive solar and
related technologies such as windows, daylighting, building systems and indoor
environment.
Natural
Energy Retrofit Assistance (ERA) Funding
Natural
Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) wants to help your
organization lower energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that
contribute to climate change. The Energy Innovators Initiative (EII)
encourages commercial businesses and public institutions to invest in existing
buildings. After you join, an EII staff person is assigned to work with you to
deliver financial and other assistance.
Renewable
Energy Deployment Initiative
NRCan
delivers several initiatives to encourage the development and use of emerging
renewable energy sources and technologies, among them are Renewable Energy
Deployment Initiative (REDI), Wind Power Production Incentive (WPPI), Market
Incentive Program (MIP) For Distributors of Emerging Renewable Electricity
Sources and Government Purchases of Green Power.
Federal
Buildings Initiative
Natural
Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency offers the FBI to help federal
departments and agencies reduce energy and water consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions. Energy efficient facilities are important: they are good for the
environment, promote healthy workplaces for employees, boost productivity and
save taxpayers' money. Through the FBI, thousands of federal buildings have
already been upgraded, saving millions of dollars and reducing the risks related
to climate change.
Canadian
Industry Program for Energy Innovation
The
Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation (CIPEC) is a unique
industry-government partnership that is committed to promoting and encouraging
energy efficiency improvements and reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
through voluntary action across Canada's industrial sectors. Sponsored by NRCan,
CIPEC is made up of 25 sector task forces that involve more than 45 trade
associations.
Process integration (PI)
Pilot Initiative
Natural Resources Canada has introduced a PI pilot
initiative to help Industrial Energy Innovator companies with complex industrial
processes identify energy cost savings. Financial assistance is available to
qualifying companies to cover 50 percent of the cost of a PI
study to a maximum of $75,000
