Greener Homes Program: Multi-Unit Residential Buildings (MURBs)
A low-rise MURB is a building of three or fewer storeys in height, having a building area not exceeding 600 m2, and is not a retirement home. MURBs must either be stacked (up/down) or have a common area—townhouses are not MURBs.
Eligibility criteria for a grant:
The low-rise MURB must conform with the definition set out by the Canada Greener Homes Grant
A single EnerGuide evaluation must be undertaken for the entire structure (or address) and not on a unit-by-unit basis.
Homeowners within the MURB need to organize themselves (e.g., by way of a condo board) in such a way that all homeowners are aware that the evaluation will be taking place.
Retrofits in a MURB must be agreed to by the person or persons who are able to make decisions about the renovations to the building.
Individual homeowners within the MURB must apply for individual grants of up to $5,000 based on the single EnerGuide evaluation undertaken for the entire structure.
Applying for a grant for a low-rise MURB
Individual homeowners within the low-rise MURB must apply for individual grants of up to $5,000 based on the single EnerGuide evaluation undertaken for the entire structure.
The maximum amount that a MURB structure can receive is $20,000.
Insulation and air sealing
The maximum allowable amount for building envelope measures—adding insulation and air sealing—in MURBs will be calculated based on the number of units within the building. The table below provides the multiplier amount.
