Financing energy efficiency retrofits in the built environment .: M4-122/2016E-PDF

"First Ministers have committed to develop a pan-Canadian framework on clean growth and climate change. To date, financial incentives have been a common policy instrument to encourage energy efficiency retrofits in the built environment. However, achieving significant emissions reductions in a cost-effective manner to governments will require an expanded use of financing mechanisms. This study examined different innovative financing mechanisms used to promote energy efficiency upgrades in the housing and buildings sectors with a focus on various initiatives in Canada, the United States (U.S.) and the United Kingdom (U.K.). Best practices were identified for models that align savings with the cost of loan repayments through repayment on utility bills or property tax bills, as well as traditional credit sources from financial institutions, other suppliers and governments and their agents"--Executive summary, p.1.
