Energy Retrofit Assistance for Implementation Projects (ERA-I)

The EnerGuide for Existing Buildings provides Energy Retrofit Assistance (ERA-I) funding for retrofit implementation projects, offering grants for costs related to management, materials, labour, monitoring and tracking, staff training, awareness and for other retrofit implementation projects in buildings. Measures for efficient lighting, the building envelope, motors, controls, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and other energy-saving projects may be eligible for grants. Grant beneficiaries can receive up to $7.50 per gigajoule (1 GJ = 277.8 equivalent kilowatt hours) of annual energy savings or up to 25 percent of eligible costs (whichever amount is less) to a maximum of $250,000.
