Agreement Number:
EAE2430_HLF
Agreement Value:
$2,130,000.00
Agreement Date:
Feb 24, 2026 - Mar 31, 2029
Description:
The objective of the Project is to establish and pilot a home energy labelling initiative within Nunavut's developing sustainable energy framework to improve residential energy efficiency, reduce emissions, build capacity, and empower communities to connect with and understand their energy consumption.
Organization:
Natural Resources Canada
Expected Results:

• A pilot of virtual home labelling tools specific to Nunavut. • Nunavut-developed virtual assessments to accommodate current levels of energy literacy and to build off existing understanding Territorial Guidelines and Climate Resilience Indicators for virtual home assessments. • Education for residents on community energy plans and energy labelling. • Database creation of energy performance and resilience metrics to develop energy considerations for remote communities. • Engagement of communities through culturally appropriate outreach and education on energy efficiency. • Enhancement of the quality of life for northerners by providing information on household energy bills and ways to improve the comfort of homes in extreme climates. • Empowerment and support of Indigenous and remote communities by providing local training, employment and facilitating community-based retrofits. • Enablement of evidence-based policymaking and benchmarking across Canada by establishing a home energy labelling system which will create a data set on building performance in Northern conditions. • Job creation and capacity building in construction, energy assessment, and retrofit industries.
