Afordability is the only way to fully transition to clean energy and hit our net zero targets by 2050. As we build more clean energy, we will also increase demand. That’s why our plan thoughtfully creates new ways to help Manitobans use energy more wisely – both to save money and to strengthen the grid.
Electrification, especially when paired with Manitoba Hydro’s hydroelectric resources, aligns with energy-efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint. Transitioning to electric means buildings can integrate seamlessly with renewable energy sources, and optimize their energy performance.
Many municipalities in Manitoba have set targets for emissions reductions, and energy use by buildings makes up almost 20% of Manitoba total GHG emissions. While municipalities have the freedom to make their owned municipal buildings as energy efficient as they choose, they have
Mar 9, 2022 · The modelling results can be used to: compare a proposed building to a similar existing building; determine how a design compares to a specific energy target or building code requirement; evaluate various energy efficiency options; and. assign an overall building energy performance rating.
Includes buildings and additions that must adhere to National Energy Code of Canada for Building (NECB) 2020 Tier 1 and provincial amendments. Use integrated design best practices. Incorporate building commissioning deliverables. Modelled to be at least 5% more efficient than the NECB.
