The Better Buildings Partnership (BBP) is an innovative program administered by the Energy Efficiency Office to provide resources including financial assistance for energy efficient retrofits and construction of Toronto buildings. The BBP’s primary goal is to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions which come from the energy used primarily to heat, light and cool buildings.
Why build and maintain energy efficient buildings?
A few of the benefits include:
* Lower utility bills
* Increased resale value
* Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
* Reduced strain on our energy supply
* Potentially better indoor air quality leading to better health and productivity
BBP is currently partnered with the Ontario Power Authority to deliver attractive energy savings incentives for buildings in the 416 area code. Additionally, BBP helps building owners in the institutional and not-for-profit buildings sectors take advantage of Toronto’s Sustainable Energy Funds that offer zero interest loans for energy conservation or renewable energy projects.
To best serve participants, BBP is segmented in to three sector-focused programs each with their own rebate/incentive levels and guidelines.
