You will be able to apply only once per property.
You can make a difference
"Today, 17 percent of all energy used in Canada goes toward running our home. Every time we use energy from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, we produce greenhouse gas emissions. By using less energy in our homes, we can help reduce the production of the greenhouse gas emmissions that contribute to climate change and harm our environment.
Nowadays, homes that are more than 25 years old have the potential to save an average of 35 percent of their energy use. Homes that are more than 50 years old could achieve even greater savings -- an average of 38 percent
Since 1998, more than 270 000 property owners have used NRCan's energy efficency program to help identify and solve home comfort problems and plan their energy efficency retrofits. NRCan data showws that if these property owners undertook all the retrofits recommended, they would reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by almost 4.6 tonnes per year, per house."
