Deep Retrofit Challenge in Canada

Deep Retrofit Challenge in Canada

Deadline: 31-Oct-22

The City of Toronto is inviting applications for Deep Retrofit Challenge.

The Deep Retrofit Challenge (the Challenge) is a competition-style program funded by the Federal Government, which will support deep retrofit projects that significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in approximately 10 to 16 buildings in Toronto.

Participating buildings will receive a grant equal to 25 per cent of their total project costs up to a maximum of up to $500,000 (depending on gross floor area and building performance) to offset the incremental design and construction costs required to achieve maximum emissions reductions. The selected projects will serve to demonstrate the deep retrofits needed to move buildings towards net zero emissions, with the goal of accelerating market adoption. Buildings are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Toronto today, generated primarily by the burning of fossil fuels for heating and hot water.

Goal

The goal of the Deep Retrofit Challenge is to de-risk investment in deep energy retrofits, build market confidence, encourage voluntary compliance with existing building policies, and inform future energy codes.

Project Scope

Projects must use a comprehensive whole-building analysis approach, considering how components of the building work together as an integrated system. Eligible measures include:
