ecoENERGY Retrofit - HomesecoENERGY Retrofit - Homes
Eligible homes: Detached and semi-detached single family homes and low-rise
multi-unit residential buildings of three storeys or less
Available grant: $5,000 per home maximum
How homeowners can apply: A licensed and independent energy advisor performs
a pre-retrofit residential energy assessment Homeowner completes selected upgrades within 18 months Have your home re-assessed The energy advisor will prepare the paperwork and
forward the application to the OEE One-stop access to collaborative programs with
provinces and utilities

ecoENERGY Retrofit HomesecoENERGY Retrofit Homes What is an energy assessment?
Walkthrough of the home (all heated spaces) Take measurements Identify efficiency of space heating and water heating equipment
Basement to attic included Blower door test and air leakage identification Discussion with homeowner Demonstration of stand-by power Modeling of the home Modeling of recommended upgrades Report to homeowner (incl. pictures) Information kit to homeowner Time: 60-90 minutes Cost:
Pre-assessment ~ $200 to $350 Post assessment ~ $150 to $200

ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes: ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes: GrantsGrants Grants are measures-based
ENERGY STAR qualified heating equipment Heat pumps: air-to-air, geothermal Wood-burning appliance replacement Electronic thermostats (electric heating) Domestic hot water heaters (gas, solar) ENERGY STAR qualified cooling Ventilation: heat recovery ventilators Insulation: attic, walls, basement, crawl space, exposed floors ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors and skylights Air leakage remediation – professional Water usage – low-flush toilets Drain-water heat recovery systems

Provincial, Territorial & Utility Provincial, Territorial & Utility CollaborationCollaboration
11 organizations collaborating on home retrofit programs Many subsidize cost of evaluation
Ontario – 50% up to $150 (to homeowner) Québec - 50% of pre-assessment, 100% of post to service organization British Columbia – 50% of pre-assessment, payable after the post-retrofit – paid to
homeowner.
Coupled with a variety of incentives: Full or partial matching grants (i.e. measure specific) Loans (with or without interest) Savings (i.e. cubic metres of natural gas) Points improvements (i.e $100 per point after 2 points)
Grant can be combined with other incentives provided no more than 100% of costs covered
Support from gas, electric utilities (check locally) Tax free One stop shopping for administration – one signature

Development of the Next Development of the Next Generation EnerGuide Rating Generation EnerGuide Rating SystemSystem
NRCan initiated revision process for the EnerGuide Rating System (ERS). Vision
The vision for the next generation EnerGuide Rating System (ERS) process is to develop the most effective energy rating system, supported by the best tools and acceptable to and recognized by all stakeholders.
Parameters able to rate existing and new houses including net zero homes on the same scale only rate energy and factors that are related to energy use in the home ability to account for electrical loads, air conditioning and renewable energy complementary to energy codes. offer stability for stakeholders using the system able to help homeowners make informed decisions
Process and Progress to date: First meeting of the ERS Policy Advisory Committee will be on March 11 and 12. Consultations and committee formation based on a Standard Council of Canada
type of process Completed the background studies Initiated survey of existing stakeholders
