Energy Efficiency Coaching Services
Regional Energy Coaching
Regional Energy Coaching (REC) is a free service designed to increase the capacity of community housing providers to start, build and operate projects that reduce their environmental footprint. REC helps you learn more about sustainable housing and assists in you in applying for grants and funding to help you achieve your goals.
The REC is offered in partnership with the Green Municipal Fund (GMF).

The Centre’s Regional Energy Coaching helps you in four steps:
1. Assessing your building to identify energy-saving opportunities
The assessment is done through a remote visit of your building. A coach will join you via video conference and guide you to specific areas of the building. The assessment typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes.
2. Creating an action plan and establishing the feasibility of the opportunities found during the assessment
Following the video conference assessment, the Centre will provide free digital energy efficiency assessments to community housing providers.
3. Referring you to the appropriate resources
With your report in hand, the Centre will be able to refer you to resources to get your energy improvement project on track.
4. Assisting you in applying for the Sustainable Affordable Housing Program
If your project is eligible for the Sustainable Affordable Housing Program (see below), the Centre can assist you in the application process.
