加拿大拨6630万加元支持162个节能住房项目，覆盖全国各地区
加拿大联邦政府与加拿大市镇联合会10月2日宣布，拨款约6,630万加元，支持全国162个节能住房项目。环境、气候变化与自然部长 Julie Dabrusin 当天在安大略省 Ajax 公布了这批项目，资金来自社区节能融资计划与可持续经济适用房计划两个渠道。
两个计划分工不同：社区节能融资计划获得约3,460万加元，帮助各市镇与机构建立创新融资机制，让房主能为住宅节能改造筹资；可持续经济适用房计划获得约3,170万加元，支持低碳经济适用房的建设、改造规划、可行性研究、试点与资本项目。
162个项目遍布加拿大每个地区：大西洋地区12个、魁北克省36个、安大略省39个、草原省份36个、不列颠哥伦比亚省38个、努纳武特地区1个。单项金额较大的包括安大略省 Huntsville 的房主改造融资项目约800万加元、Waterloo 地区的账单还款式改造融资项目约793万加元，以及 Peel 地区一处经济适用房多户住宅的净零碳改造项目1,000万加元。
联邦政府表示，提高住宅能效既能帮加拿大人省下能源账单、改善居住舒适度，也能减少温室气体排放。这批项目同时支持经济适用房创新与住宅深度改造，让节能融资方案在更多社区落地。
Canada Announces $66.3 Million for 162 Energy-Efficient Housing Projects Across the Country
The Government of Canada and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities announced on October 2 that approximately $66.3 million in funding has been approved for 162 energy-efficient housing projects across Canada. Minister of the Environment, Climate Change and Nature Julie Dabrusin made the announcement in Ajax, Ontario, covering projects under the Community Efficiency Financing initiative and the Sustainable Affordable Housing initiative.
The Community Efficiency Financing initiative, receiving $34,595,956, supports municipalities and organizations to develop and implement innovative financing mechanisms that help homeowners undertake energy-efficiency retrofits and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Sustainable Affordable Housing initiative, receiving $31,682,805, supports low-carbon affordable housing construction, retrofit planning, feasibility studies, pilot projects and capital projects.
The 162 projects are located in every region of Canada: 12 in Atlantic Canada, 36 in Quebec, 39 in Ontario, 36 across the Prairies, 38 in British Columbia and 1 in Nunavut. Larger individual awards include about $8 million for a homeowner retrofit financing program in Huntsville, Ontario, about $7.9 million for an on-bill retrofit financing program in the Region of Waterloo, and $10 million for a net-zero carbon retrofit of an affordable multi-residential facility in the Region of Peel.
The government said making homes more energy efficient helps Canadians save money on energy bills and improves comfort, while reducing emissions. The projects also support affordable housing innovation, residential retrofits and innovative financing solutions in communities across the country.
