Energy efficiency program - Efficient construction and renovation Construction
The grant is aimed at encouraging the construction of energy efficient buildings that will reduce their operating expenses and increase their resale value. Buildings must have an improvement of 5% above the reference of the NECB 2015-Qc. By constructing an energy efficient building, you will reduce your energy consumption and by extension, the related costs.

Eligibility and Requirements
The financial assistance accorded by Énergir under this grant is $5.00 per cubic metre of natural gas saved. The maximum amount of financial assistance is $325,000 per account number served with natural gas. If the building obtains an energy efficiency improvement of 5% above the reference, as defined in Division B, Part 8, of the National Energy Code for Buildings – Canada 2015 – which integrates amendments from Québec (NECB 2015-Qc), it qualifies for receiving financial assistance under the New Efficient Construction Grant. The amount of financial assistance accorded may not be higher than 75% of the additional investment costs. Énergir estimates extra investment costs related to energy efficiency measures at 8% of investment costs.
If the building does not satisfy the energy efficiency requirements, or does not meet one or more of the Grant’s eligibility criteria, Énergir reserves the right to refuse to award any financial assistance. Énergir agrees to pay financial assistance for carrying out energy simulations; the maximum financial assistance will be $15,000, or 75% of the costs (the lesser of the two). Requests for less than $5,000 (excluding the simulation) are not eligible.
