Working together in local development
Make sure you know where the pipelines are located. This will limit the risk of multiple crossings, ensure better visibility of visual markers, and reduce the number of easements on individual lots, all in all minimizing the risk of problems
Énergir helps municipalities consume less-and better!
Since 2014, Énergir's energy efficiency programs helped to:
- Deliver 500+ energy efficiency projects in more than 60 municipalities
- Generate savings of over 11 million cubic metres of natural gas
- Generate GHG reductions of 22,000 tonnes—equivalent to taking 5,500 vehicles off Québec’s roads each year*
- Provide more than $8 million in grants to municipalities
* Assuming that a vehicle clocks 20,000 km a year and emits 4 tonnes of CO2.

Up to a maximum of $25,000 for an experimental project, and up to $250,000* for a demonstration project |
| New efficient construction | To encourage the construction of energy efficient buildings. | $5/m3 natural gas saved Up to $325,000 |
| Measures available | Energy efficiency | Grant |
| Study and implementation | Provides personalized advice on the implementation of energy efficient measures, such as heat recovery, optimization of a steam network or optimization of heating. | - 50% of the cost of the study Up to $50,000 - Up to $1 000,000 following the implementation of a measure ($0.30/m³ of natural gas saved). |
| Recommissioning | A 10%–15% reduction in consumption through the recommissioning of mechanical systems. | Obtain up to 50% off the cost of projects |
| Energy-efficient renovations | Improve the thermal envelope of buildings. | Up to $40,000 (consumption ≤ 150,000 m3/year) Up to $100,000 (consumption > 150,000 m3/year) |
| Low-income household supplement | Financial assistance to owners of multi-teant buildings with four or more units, one or more occupied by low-income households. The financial assistance is then shared between the building owner and the low-income households renting a unit in the building where the energy efficiency work is being carried out. |

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.
