According to its official release, funding is available to help commercial and institutional building owners and operators implement the ISO 50001 energy management system standard: “Organizations that have implemented ISO 50001 in their buildings save energy and money, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” says NRCan.
The funding will be used to reimburse eligible project costs as follows:
- Eligible for-profit organizations may receive up to 60 per cent of eligible costs
- Eligible not-for-profit organizations may receive up to 75 per cent of eligible costs
- Maximum of $40,000 per building
- The maximum contribution to an organization or group of affiliates is $200,000 per fiscal year (April 1 to March 31)
Eligible project expenditures include salaries and benefits, professional, scientific, and technical fees specific to the energy management system, fees for data collection, benchmarking and analysis services, purchasing metering equipment, as well as other expenditures directly related to the project.
