ecoENERGY for Renewable Heat

“Using the power of the sun to heat buildings and water not only helps businesses lower costs, but it reduces the amount of harmful emissions produced. The ecoENERGY for Renewable Heat program is a four-year, $36 million investment to: 

• Increase the use of renewable thermal energy by industry, commercial businesses and institutions
• Boost the amount of renewable thermal energy created for these sectors
• Contribute to cleaner air by helping Canadian businesses use less fossil fuel-based energy for space and water heating in buildings across the country

The ecoENERGY for Renewable Heat program runs from April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2011. Incentives are offered to the industrial/commercial/institutional sector to install active energy-efficient solar air and/or water heating systems. Eligible projects must be completed and commissioned within six (6) months of the signing of a contribution agreement with NRCan. Preliminary estimates suggest that, by 2011, the program will have supported installations in about 700 buildings.”
