[...] Recommendation 8:Provide an additional $4 billion on a cash basis to the CanadaMortgage and Housing Corporation and open a separate interest-free Greener Homes Loan stream for condominiums/stratas to implement whole-building energy efficiency improvements and install clean heating systems in multi-unit residential buildings. [...] To complement the ZEVIP program, the federal government should combine the expertise and leverage the remaining funding in the CIB’s $500Million Charging and Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure Initiative and its $2 billion Buildings Retrofit Initiative to support cleanenergycanada.org / @cleanenergycan 3 https. [...] Multi-unit residential buildings are not eligible for most federal and provincial support programs for clean energy retrofits, such as the federal Greener Homes Loan and Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program and the federal co-funding of heat pump rebates in British Columbia.
