Are you a multi-unit residential building (MURB) owner or manager looking to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability? The CleanBC MURB Retrofit Program offers a variety of financial incentives and support to help you make energy-efficient upgrades, reduce operational costs, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. As a member of BC Hydro’s Alliance of Energy Professionals, RDH can help you with every step of the process, from application through to retrofit implementation.
Grants and Rebates
The program offers financial incentives to help reduce the upfront costs of implementing sustainable solutions, ultimately leading to long-term savings and reduced energy consumption. Below is a summary of the grants and rebates available:
Opportunity Assessment Grant: Up to $5,000 for a high-level energy performance assessment to identify upgrade opportunities for your building.
Feasibility Study Grant: Up to $30,000 for an in-depth energy and cost analysis. This is for buildings that are interested and want to move forward with specific upgrades, including some building enclosure measures.
Equipment and Window Upgrades: Rebates for heat pumps, windows, and water heating systems. There are also rebates available for EV charging and renewable energy solutions.
To explore these opportunities, visit BC Hydro’s website.
