Ensure quality and comfort while meeting budget requirements
Power your municipal buildings with a reliable source of energy that will help you comply with the environmental standards you strive to meet. Not only is natural gas equipment safe and high performing, it also provides a rapid return on investment.
The transportation sector accounts for 42.5% of greenhouse gas emissions. All municipalities that operate a vehicle fleet on their territory contribute to this statistic. Running vehicles on natural gas will help reduce their environmental impact and lower their fuel costs, one of the biggest expenditure items for any municipality.

Heating large spaces can often involve a great deal of energy loss. When building the Parc Chauveau indoor soccer complex, the goal was clear—ensure efficient heating and ventilation, excellent air quality, and especially a comfortable environment for the players, without overheating them.
Grants available for your municipality
Take advantage of Énergir grants to convert your buildings to natural gas.

The 15% total corresponds to a potential customer who installs a natural gas warm-air furnace with a capacity of 10,000 m3. The rebates are subject to credit approval and eligibility for the natural gas Consumption Rebate Program and the Energy Efficiency Program. The terms and conditions of the program and the amounts of financial assistance are subject to change without notice. A five-year natural gas supply contract is required. Other conditions may apply.
