Natural Resources Canada's Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP) offers a financial incentive for the incorporation of energy efficiency features in new commercial/institutional building designs. The objective of this new incentive is to encourage energy-efficient design practices and to bring about lasting changes in the Canadian building design and construction industry. Energy-efficient buildings yield long-term energy savings. Lower operating costs increase the resale value of the building and provide a competitive leasing advantage over standard buildings. A financial incentive of up to $60,000 will be awarded to building owners whose designs meet CBIP requirements. An eligible building design must demonstrate a reduction in energy use by at least 25% when compared to the requirements of the MNECB. The duration of the program will be from April 1, 1998 to March 31, 2007.
