Efficient renovation - Small buildings

This grant aims to encourage making renovations that will improve the thermal envelope of small buildings that consume less than 150,000 m³ of natural gas per year. By being better insulated, your building will consume less energy.

The work may include replacing windows and/or improving the insulation of walls or roofs.

How to determine your annual natural gas consumption?

For existing customers: Check your last bill or consult your customer account under the Customer Space on our website.
For future customers: Contact us for an estimate of your future consumption.

Calculation of grant¹

For windows: $30 per square metre of eligible windows replaced up to a maximum of 7.5% of the cost of purchase and installation of the new windows.

For walls and roofs: $8 per square metre of eligible walls or roofs renovated up to a maximum of 75% of the cost of purchase and installation.
