The City of Vancouver has partnered with City Green Solutions and the Home Energy Navigator Program to provide support and resources to help you learn what energy efficiency means for your home, identify what upgrades are best suited to your home and priorities, and take the first steps to improving your home’s comfort.

In Vancouver, nearly 60% of our carbon pollution comes from buildings. By reducing energy waste, improving home comfort through energy efficient upgrades, and switching from fossil fuel to renewable energy, we can be part of the solution to our climate crisis.
