How St. Catharines Collegiate improved ventilation and reduced costs

Built in 1923, St. Catharines Collegiate offers year-round educational programming to more than 600 students, right in the heart of downtown. By participating in the Commercial Custom Retrofit Program and upgrading the building automation system, the historic building was able to reduce natural costs, improve energy efficiency and enhance air quality, making the space more comfortable for students and staff.

How the program works

Project scoping stage

Contact your Energy Services Advisor (ESA) early in the project planning stage to have your project pre-qualified and maximize the incentives available to you. We’ll estimate natural gas savings based on the project details and provide an incentive quote. If you haven’t already worked with an ESA, you’ll be provided with one for support every step of the way, at no additional cost.

Two

Purchase order stage

Contact your ESA and provide a copy of the purchase order. Submit completed technical input sheets with an estimated date of installation and commissioning.

Three

Project commissioning

After the energy efficiency upgrade is commissioned and operational, your ESA will confirm final project details through a site inspection and/or by requesting a copy of the project invoice.

4

Incentive payment

Submit all required paperwork and receive your incentive cheque in 4 – 6 weeks.
