Rebates for the HOMEOWNERS

  • Your home’s final energy rating, referred to as the “percent improvement” number. This is calculated by the energy advisor using the EnerGuide Rating System.

REBATES FOR BUILDERS

Our New Homes Program has been designed to align with the published building code wherever possible. We use the same language, measurements, and classifications to ensure consistency between the building code and our program requirements, making it easier for builders to participate in our program and prepare for the future adoption of higher energy performance tiers.

Your rebate is based on two factors:

  • Whether the conditioned volume of the home is greater than or less than 300 m³;

  • The final energy performance % improvement.
