Objective

The Toward Net-Zero Homes and Communities program will provide funding to:

• Support the implementation of original and creative tools and methods to facilitate Canada’s “Just Transition” to net-zero residential building emissions by 2050.
• Support initiatives to empower all residents, including professionals and other levels of government, to contribute to Canada’s “Just Transition” to net-zero residential building emissions by 2050.
• Support Indigenous, rural and remote, and under-resourced communities in their efforts to reduce residential GHG emissions.

There are three program streams: (1) addressing barriers to adoption of energy efficient technologies, (2) capacity building in support of net-zero energy ready codes, and (3) facilitating home energy labelling and disclosure to encourage deep energy retrofits.
