Why do people offer incentives?
Government Incentives:• It’s not their money – it’s ours!• It’s in the public’s
best intereste.g. costs of pollution

Solar Thermal• Federal & Provincial:
1. ecoEnergy Retrofit (a.k.a. “NRCan program”)…not stackable with…
2. Federal: ecoEnergy for Renewable Heat
o Last application - October 1, 2010
o Max - $400,000 per Solar Water install…$80,000 per Solar Air
o $$ = Performance Factor x Incentive Rate x Collector Area
o Perf. Factor - There is a list of accepted solar collectors1
o Incentive Rate - $/m2…Solar Air, Solar Water Glazed…Unglazed
o E.g. – (Unglazed) 0.97 x 30 $/m2 x 4’ x 10’ x 10 = $1,065
o Provincial (OSTHI) – matches ecoEnergy = $1,065
3. A 50% accelerated CCA is provided under Class 43.2 of Schedule II

• Audits:o $35 per unit…yup…can be used with Enbridge`s $$o 4 measures must be assessed…i.e. not just lightingo Must have done at least 1 recommended measureo Traditional or modeling approaches
• Prescriptive:o No pre-approval – No energy calculations requiredo Based on a predefined eligibility listo $1 to $250 per fixture• Exit signs• EnergyStar CFLs• Standard T8s• T5s• Occupany Sensors• Photocells & timers• Programmable Thermostats
• Non-electric Chillers• Heat Pumps• Solar Hot Water• Gas Dryers• Energy Star appliances
Toronto Better Building Partnership…
• Calculated: 7¢ per kWh or $400 per kW:
o Anything covered – must be able to prove the savingso Must have before and after photoso Limited to 50% of the project costo Trick – Anything that’s 24/7…calculated gives more $$o Application is really only 4 of the 17 pages
• HVAC upgrades• Building automation• Chiller replacements• Deep lake water cooling
And if you don’t listen to any of that…

How will HST impact your project costs and utility bills?
Will OPA incentives continue for lighting?
