In today’s evolving energy landscape, improving the efficiency of multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) is more critical than ever. Rising energy costs, stricter environmental regulations, and increasing demand for sustainable living solutions make energy audits a must-have service for property owners and managers. At Enforma, we specialize in providing comprehensive energy audit services that align perfectly with BC Hydro’s Multi-Unit Residential Building (MURB) Retrofit Program. Our goal is to help you maximize energy savings, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create a more comfortable living environment for residents.
Understanding BC Hydro’s MURB Retrofit Program
BC Hydro’s MURB Retrofit Program is designed to assist building owners and managers in identifying and implementing energy efficiency upgrades. Through financial incentives and expert support, this program helps lower operational costs and improve building performance. The program offers two types of assessments:
- Opportunity Assessments: These provide a high-level analysis of potential energy-saving measures within your building. BC Hydro funds up to 100% of the cost, up to $5,000.
- Feasibility Studies: A more in-depth technical and financial analysis of specific retrofit projects. BC Hydro funds up to 100% of the cost, up to $30,000.
