Description:
Efficiency Nova Scotia’s Building Optimization Program is a part of the larger Custom Program, where Efficiency Nova
Scotia offers technical assistance, financial incentives and financing to offset the cost of engineering studies, energy
efficient equipment and installation for customized projects.
The Building Optimization Program provides a similar offering but with a streamlined application process and a simplified
incentive structure to be better suited to recommissioning measures in existing buildings that save electrical energy.
