Initiating energy-related building upgrades can be time-consuming, intimidating, and involve many technical decision points.

A one-window service makes the process easier. This service may include information on all applicable incentives and best practices for energy-related upgrades, behavioural change campaigns and other supports. The service will help more building owners in performing more upgrades that reduce building-related emissions.
