As part of its Local Climate Change Action Plan 2030, MODL aims to upgrade around 1,400 existing homes to achieve significant energy savings, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and build climate resilience. The Municipality wll reduce financial barriers to undertaking energy efficiency upgrades in homes through a range of support mechanisms including expansion of MODL’s Clean Energy Financing (CEF) program and offering navigator services to help homeowners better assess the available different provincial and federal financing programs.
MODL will further investigate the opportunity to implement a municipality-wide home energy benchmarking and labelling program. This will enable the municipality to better assess the needs of existing housing stock and improve its current CEF program.
