BUILDING TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM
Save energy. Reduce operating costs. Meet sustainability goals
ABOUT THE BUILDING TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM
The ReCover Initiative Building Transformation Program helps building owners achieve significant reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by navigating tailored building retrofits and financial incentives.
By participating in the program, building owners can access comprehensive support to modernize their facilities and enhance energy efficiency. This program is ideal for buildings built before 2000, particularly those using fuel oil, natural gas, or inefficient electric sources for heating and cooling or those that have not had significant efficiency upgrades or retrofits in recent years.
WHAT YOU GET
As a participating building owner, you will receive:
A detailed technical assessment that identifies key opportunities to reduce energy use
A clear implementation plan that addresses energy usage reduction and retrofit opportunities
A dedicated point of contact who will help you to prioritize retrofits and identify available financial incentives
A tailored resource package outlining the financial incentives available to support your retrofits and the benefits of completing retrofits
YOUR COMMITMENT
Building owners will:
Provide access to their building(s) and share historical energy usage data
Participate in regular check-in meetings with ReCover and other service providers
Secure financing or funding for the identified retrofits with support from ReCover
Align themselves with the retrofit implementation plan and complete the identified retrofits
PROGRAM PHASES & BENEFITS
Building Assessment
100% of the building assessment and benchmarking costs
Technical Assessment
75% of the engineering costs for a detailed technical assessment including an ASHRAE Level 2 Energy Audit and a Feasibility Study
Implementation
Dedicated support during regular check-in meetings and key decision moments to help action the retrofit implementation plan, reduce operating costs, and meet sustainability goals
TYPES OF RETROFITS
Typical retrofits achieved with the Program include:
Electrification of fossil fuel systems
Heating, cooling, and ventilation system upgrades
Lighting system and lighting controls upgrades
Renewable energy systems installation (e.g., solar panels)
Increasing insulation, upgrading windows, re-cladding, and other building envelope improvements
Some of these typical improvements may qualify for special financial incentives such as: accelerated capital cost allowance, the Canadian renewable and conservation expense, and the Atlantic investment tax credit.
