Energy efficiency program - Efficient construction and renovation
Efficient renovation – Large buildings and greenhouses
The grant aims to promote renovations which enhance the thermal envelope of large buildings (consuming more than 150,000 m3/year and greenhouses.)»
The goal? Improve the energy efficiency of buildings and reduce energy costs.
Your building consumes less than 150,000 m3/year? Go to the Renovation of small buildings page.
Improve your building’s thermal envelope
Work may include:
- Replacing windows
- Improving wall and roof insulation
Insulate your greenhouse
Install thermal screens for greenhouses.

Renewable natural gas: your decarbonization ally
Once your energy-efficiency measures are in place, you can replace some or all of your natural gas purchases with renewable natural gas.
RNG is 100% renewably sourced energy that rapidly reduces your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions without your needing to change equipment.
Conditions
1. A contract must be signed with your sales representative, and an Énergir account number must be assigned in order to benefit from the financial assistance offered.
2. Before starting the work, it is essential that you complete and submit your Declaration of Intent (Form I – Declaration of Intent ) in which you inform Énergir of your intention to participate in the program. The start of work corresponds to the date the first contract covering the renovation project is signed.
