Apartment Retrofit Financing Support for Ontario Building Owners
New federal financing will fund retrofits for 280,000 apartment units, and lenders will want proof of savings. We prepare the energy baseline, retrofit plan and verified results your application needs. Read our guide to the new financing.
How It Works
-
A 20-minute call to review your building's size, age, energy use and goals. We tell you which financing and incentive programs fit and what you will need to apply.
-
We establish your energy baseline, inspect the building and model the upgrades that deliver the strongest savings and the best financing terms.
-
We support your financing application, then measure and verify the results once the work is done so your savings are proven.
Who We Help
-
Owners and managers of purpose-built rental buildings who want to lower operating costs, improve resident comfort and finance upgrades on better terms.
-
Co-operatives and community housing providers that need affordable financing and clear evidence of results for members, funders and residents.
What We Deliver
-
We collect 12 to 24 months of utility bills and building data, then adjust for weather and occupancy. The result is a defensible starting point that lenders and funders can trust.
-
Our energy advisors inspect the building envelope, heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water and controls to find where energy and money are being lost.
-
We model upgrade packages such as heat pumps, window and wall improvements, ventilation heat recovery and building controls, showing the projected energy, carbon and cost savings of each option.
-
We prepare the technical evidence your lender asks for and work with your property team and contractors so the application moves forward without delays.
-
We identify Enbridge Gas, Save on Energy and municipal incentives that may be combined with federal financing to lower your upfront cost.
-
After the upgrades are installed, we measure and verify actual savings against the baseline and deliver the reports lenders require. Continuous building monitoring is available to track performance and flag problems early.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Program details are still being released. The announcement focuses on existing apartment buildings, and financing is expected to depend on demonstrated energy and carbon reductions. We confirm whether your building fits during the free eligibility review.
-
Financing terms are tied to real savings. Measurement and verification compares performance after the retrofit with the original baseline, so your savings are proven rather than estimated.
-
Often, yes. Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy programs can frequently be combined with other funding, but each program has its own rules. We check the stacking rules for your project before you apply.
