Efficient Boiler Program for Enhanced Energy Savings and Performance
The Efficient Boiler Program (EBP), in partnership with Natural Resources Canada and the Ministry of Energy, aims to promote the use of high-efficiency natural gas boilers in new construction and retrofitting applications. Running from April 2005 to 2008, the program offers incentives for installing near-condensing and condensing boilers, resulting in energy savings of up to 40%. The initiative enhances energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and marketability while providing significant environmental benefits, making it a valuable program for both commercial and institutional sectors.
