Natural Resources Canada announced the second call for proposals under the Greener Neighbourhoods Pilot Program, which will support up to six Energiesprong-inspired aggregated deep energy retrofit projects in communities across Canada.

The purpose of the call:

• Validate the technical and economic feasibility of Energiesprong-style deep energy retrofit approaches in multiple regions across Canada;
• Explore innovative approaches to deep energy retrofits in Canada; and,
• Build capacity and a business case for various aggregated deep energy retrofit approaches.

   • Not-for-profit organizations, including social/affordable housing providers or housing cooperatives;
   • Community groups;
2. Provincial, territorial, regional, and municipal governments and their departments and agencies, where applicable;
3. Indigenous applicants:

   • For-profit and not-for-profit businesses and organizations that clearly demonstrate ownership and controlling interests by Indigenous groups;
