Our region's residential building sector emitted 247,800 MT CO2 in 2020. That’s equivalent to consuming nearly 28 million gallons of gasoline. Reducing energy consumption in the built environment can have a significant impact on our work to address climate change.

FAQs

New Construction

  • All-electric individual homes without natural gas lines, which use heat pump technology for space and water heating and heat recovery technology for fresh air ventilation

Rebates can be requested once final construction design documents ("100% CD's") are provided.


If the building code prohibits natural gas, then no rebates will be provided.
