 * Study: GHG reduction pathway feasibility


STUDY: GHG REDUCTION PATHWAY FEASIBILITY

Assess the feasibility to support near-term and long-term projects that reduce
energy and GHGs, extend asset life and reduce cost of ownership for local
recreational and cultural facilities. Determine the best approach to achieving
near net zero buildings with a study grant.

FUNDING SNAPSHOT

Maximum Award:
Single building:
Grant for a maximum of $65,000 to cover up to 80% of eligible costs.

Portfolio of buildings:
Grant for a maximum of $200,000 to cover up to 80% of eligible costs (cost per
building cannot exceed $65,000).
Open To:
All Canadian municipal governments (with the exception of Low Carbon Cities
Canada (LC3) namesake municipalities; Municipal government project partners.
Application Deadline:
Applications are accepted year round, though this offer will close when all
funding has been allocated.
Eligible Costs:
See the application guide for a list of eligible costs.

JUMP TO:
 * What is a GHG reduction pathway?
 * Eligible buildings
 * Notes
 * How to Apply

Integrate energy and GHG reductions into longer-term management plans for local
recreational and cultural facilities. Studies will include feasibility work to
support near-term and long-term capital projects while mapping out a course to
extend asset life and reduce cost of ownership (i.e., the total capital,
operating and maintenance costs over the building’s remaining useful life).   


WHAT IS A GHG REDUCTION PATHWAY?

A sequence of GHG reduction measures that allow local recreational and cultural
facilities to achieve 50% GHG reductions within 10 years and 80% GHG reductions
within the next 20 years.

This grant enables the identification of measures to be addressed in a GHG
reduction pathway retrofit capital project. Studies will consider the unique
objectives and constraints of the building owner (e.g., building condition,
capital budgets, equipment renewal cycles, etc.), and provide a detailed
exploration of multiple optimization scenarios.   

Please read our technical guide Opens in a new tab. to applying for this study
grant before submitting your application.


ELIGIBLE BUILDINGS

To be eligible for this grant, projects must include at least one community
building that is owned by a municipality or not-for-profit organization.

A community building is an enclosed public place or an enclosed workplace that
is:

 * owned by a municipal government or not-for-profit;
 * primarily used for the purposes of providing athletic, recreational, culture
   and community programs or services to the local community;
 * widely accessible to everyone offering services designed to enhance the
   health and well-being, skills development, and economic development of
   individuals and communities.


COMMUNITY BUILDINGS INCLUDE:

 * indoor ice rinks, indoor sports arenas, indoor swimming pools,
 * community and recreational centres (e.g., community centres, clubhouses,
   seniors’ centres and clubs, recreation centres, gyms, halls, and curling
   rinks),
 * arts and culture facilities (cultural facilities, performing arts facilities,
   art galleries, and auditoriums),
 * libraries, and
 * multi-purpose buildings which include one or more of the above community
   functions as well as other services/administrative functions.

For full project scope and eligibility, please read our application guide Opens

NOTES

Only one grant is eligible per municipality, regardless of whether the included
building (or buildings) are owned by the municipality or a not-for-profit.   

Funding is subject to availability. We reserve the right to make changes to
eligibility criteria and the types of projects funded through this offer.
