Digital Home Energy Label Program Enhancement Project | City of Calgary
The objective of this project is to enhance the City of Calgary's Home Energy Label Program by updating and refining the digital energy score methodology, and developing a comprehensive strategy for homeowners and builders to disclose energy scores and EnerGuide labels, while fostering regional collaboration and knowledge sharing for a wider national impact.
Better Homes Ottawa Retrofit Portal Project| City of Ottawa

The objective of this project is to assess and test alternative methods for home labelling that may be more effective at empowering Indigenous communities in British Columbia to pursue deep energy efficiency retrofits.
Rating and Optimization Prediction Project | Efficiency Properties Inc.
The objective of this Project is to create a seamless home energy rating prediction system, while working with the real estate industry in Nova Scotia for its implementation into the home buying and home selling process.
Scaling Virtual Audit Technology Project | Windfall Ecology Centre
The objective of this Project is to build upon the Durham Greener Homes Retrofit Engagement Platform, facilitate virtual home energy labelling and disclosure to encourage emission reducing retrofits, reduce the need for on-site visits, provide coaching services to homeowners looking to retrofit, and to extend the virtual labelling service to remote Indigenous communities through an Indigenous led pilot.
