Community Building Monitoring and Analysis Grant
Federation of Canadian MunicipalitiesDescription
Measuring building performance helps build a better understanding of how community facilities and other buildings use energy, which can support decision-making around building maintenance and improvements.
This grant supports municipalities and not-for-profit organizations track energy use of existing community facilities over time, compare the energy performance of their buildings to similar buildings in other municipalities and identify opportunities to save energy. It is intended for community building owners who do not have a building monitoring and analysis system in place
