Deadline: Ongoing Opportunity
Applications are now open for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Pilot Project: Retrofit or New Construction of Sustainable Affordable Housing in Canada.
They fund pilot projects to support the integration of leading-edge deep energy efficiency measures and onsite renewable energy generation for existing affordable housing retrofits and new builds.
Pilot projects assess innovative solutions in real-world conditions, including a small-scale version of a capital project, or a full-scale, replicable test of a novel approach. Your initiative is expected to demonstrate a high level of energy-efficiency performance and must evaluate innovative measures that have uncertainty around implementation, operations or energy savings. These projects can include solutions implemented in other jurisdictions with positive results that have yet to be tested in Canada.
They’re seeking leading-edge pilot projects that generate significant GHG reductions for affordable housing providers and their communities. These projects may test solutions through a small-scale version of a capital project, or a full-scale, replicable application of a new approach. Pilots can include solutions implemented in other jurisdictions with positive results that have yet to be tested in your community.
