We’re here to help owners and operators of commercial buildings reduce energy costs. The Commercial Buildings Retrofit Program provides incentives for energy audits, feasibility studies and eligible energy-saving upgrade projects.
Up to $8,000 towards an audit to determine the potential for energy efficiency upgrades in a commercial building; and up to $1.25 million towards the implementation of the energy efficiency upgrades chosen.

The energy audit helped identify the upgrades that would yield the best results and provide a roadmap for current and future projects. The city hall upgrades are being completed in phases, but energy costs have already been lowered by more than 50%.
