The following are programs offered by the ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune and its partners. Various types of financial assistance are available through these programs.
| Title | Sector | Agency | Energy |
|---|---|---|---|
Feasibility studies and energy simulations – Major industriesThis program deals exclusively with feasibility studies designed to encourage clients to engage the services of specialists or to use their qualified in-house resources to determine energy efficiency opportunities as they relate to natural gas, and to suggest means of exploiting those opportunities. This program is available only to major accounts clients. |
Institutional, Industrial | Gaz Métro | |
Infrared heatersThe purpose of this program is to save on the consumption of natural gas. It is aimed at commercial and institutional clients who are looking to use the infrared heaters. Infrared heaters make it possible to direct heat to specific locations without heating ambient air. The technology is used mainly in high-ceilinged buildings, like warehouses, garages, arenas and churches. |
Institutional, Commercial, Municipal | Gazifère | |
Intermediate efficiency water heatersThe program promotes the use of water heaters with a capacity greater than 75,000 BTU/h and an energy efficiency rating of 85%. It is aimed at both existing buildings and new construction, and is of interest to current and new Gaz Métro clients. |
Institutional, Commercial, Industrial, Municipal | Gaz Métro | |
Intermediate energy-efficiency boilerThe purpose of this program is to save on the consumption of natural gas. It is aimed at commercial and institutional clients who are looking to buy or to rent intermediate energy-efficiency boiler. All Gazifère commercial and institutional clients are eligible. |
Institutional, Commercial, Municipal | Gazifère | |
Intermediate energy-efficiency water heaterThe purpose of this program is to save on the consumption of natural gas. It is aimed at commercial and institutional clients who are looking to buy or to rent intermediate energy-efficiency water heater of intermediate efficiency. All Gazifère commercial and institutional clients are eligible. |

Programme d’aide à l’implantation de mesures efficaces dans les bâtiments (in French only)Le Programme d’aide à l’implantation de mesures efficaces dans les bâtiments offre une aide financière aux propriétaires de bâtiments qui désirent implanter des mesures menant à une réduction de leur consommation de mazout léger ou de propane. Sont admissibles les bâtiments institutionnels, municipaux, commerciaux et agricoles, les habitations multirésidentielles et les bâtiments à usage mixte (résidentiel et commercial). |
Institutional, Commercial, Municipal | Ministère des Ressources naturelles | |
Programme d’aide à l’utilisation de la biomasse forestière pour le chauffage (pilote) (in French only)Ce programme offre un soutien financier aux consommateurs de combustibles fossiles (à l’exception du mazout lourd) qui s’engagent à réduire de façon mesurable et durable leur consommation par l’implantation de mesures de conversion du système de chauffage à la biomasse forestière résiduelle. Sont admissibles les bâtiments institutionnels, municipaux, commerciaux et religieux ainsi que les réseaux de chaleur. |
Institutional, Commercial, Municipal | Ministère des Ressources naturelles | |
Solar Heating ProgramThis program is aimed at saving energy used in preheating air or water by providing financial assistance to clients who purchase solar energy systems. The program offers a rebate of $3 per cubic meter of natural gas saved, calculated using an energy simulations. |
Institutional, Commercial, Industrial | Gaz Métro | |
Support for initiatives - Energy optimization in buildingsThe purpose of this program is to stimulate savings in natural gas use among commercial and institutional clients who embark on retrofits aimed at energy optimization in existing buildings or who construct a new building. All Gazifère commercial and institutional clients are eligible. Gazifère analyzes the feasibility study carried out by a professional architect or engineer demonstrating the energy savings that result for each measure taken. |

Variable speed hoodThis programs aims to install control system of a variable-speed on existing or new hoods for commercial kitchen pruposes. These controls helps vents only the quantity of air needed to remove the steam and grease from cooking. By using variable fans, which can be modulated based on the exhaust air temperature under the hood, exhausts can be optimized and energy expenses limited. Also, a variable speed hood operates in concert with the fresh air supply unit in order to balance the intake of fresh air with the exhaust of contaminated air. The fresh air unit is also fitted with a variable speed drive so that only the fresh air required is heated, which represents a significant cost saving. |
