The city of Sault Ste. Marie has received a $200,000 grant to "explore deep energy retrofitting" at six municipal buildings.
"These investments will help cities and towns across Ontario find the best approach to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions at municipally owned buildings," the news release states. The Town of Caledon receives $200,000 to identify methods to reduce energy and emissions for eight of its facilities, including a recycling facility, two community centres, two fire stations, and the town hall. The study will explore low-carbon building renewal opportunities such as equipment replacement, fuel switching, lighting upgrades and renewable energy.
