Energy Efficiency and Fuel Switching in Public Buildings

The Energy Efficiency and Fuel Switching Program supports energy efficiency and fuel switching retrofits in existing public sector buildings that are reliant on fossil fuels for space heating, such as post-secondary institutions and medical clinics.

Implemented by the Department of Transportation and Works, the Program aims to reduce GHG emissions and improve energy efficiency in public sector buildings. Projects involving fuel switching to electricity will also assist in rate mitigation efforts.

The Program is supported by $25.96 million from 2018-2022, including a provincial investment of $12.98 million and a matched contribution of $12.98 million from the Federal Government through the Low Carbon Economy Leadership Fund.
