This project uses a cohort of Grey County and Selwyn Township to undertake a feasibility and market analysis study and to lay the groundwork for program design and a subsequent application to FCM’s CEF capital program application. The market analysis used a methodology developed by Climate Action Partnership, which uses energy use and building stock data to inform a retrofit program design and a marketing and outreach strategy.
The cohort approach reduced the burden on municipal staff, increased departmental engagement and buy-in within and across municipalities, and gained efficiencies of scale and consistency in approach.
