New program will create new low-carbon jobs and help Canadians across the country reduce their home energy bills by improving energy efficiency in their homes.
This call for proposals is a $10 million commitment to recruit, train, and mentor up to 2,000 new energy advisors across the country to support the Canada Greener Homes Grant, which will provide as many as 700,000 grants of up to $5,000 each to help homeowners make energy-efficient improvements to their homes, supported by an EnerGuide evaluation. An EnerGuide home evaluation gives homeowners a better understanding of how their home uses energy now – and identifies retrofits to help improve energy efficiency.
Efficiency Canada — housed at Carleton University’s Sustainable Energy Research Centre — has benchmarked the number of energy advisors in Canada in its annual Provincial Energy Efficiency Scorecard, and also worked to promote energy advisor careers.
