Codes Acceleration Fund (CAF)

Launched by Natural Resource Canada in 2023,  the Codes Acceleration Fund (CAF) provides funding to support efforts to accelerate and contribute to code (or regulation) adoption, compliance and enforcement.

The programme provides funding to:  
• provinces, territories, municipalities, and Indigenous governments and communities that have the authority to adopt energy codes (or other types of mandatory energy regulations for homes and buildings) 
• organisations that do not have the authority to adopt building energy codes nor other mandatory energy regulations for homes and buildings to help these organisations to deliver relevant capacity building projects

The objectives of the Codes Acceleration Fund are:
• accelerate the adoption and implementation of the highest feasible energy performance tiers of the national model energy codes or other high-performance building codes, such as net-zero emissions codes
• promote higher rates of compliance with adopted codes
• build capacity and support market preparedness for ambitious codes adoption
