Green building retrofits platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Liberal
  • Provide funding for low- and middle-income households, including renters, to adopt heat pumps and energy efficiency upgrades

    "Funding home retrofits and lowering utility bills while making it easier for low- and middle-income households, including renters, to adopt heat pumps and energy efficiency upgrades including insulation upgrades, heat pump installation, and window replacements;" — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

  • Adopt the top tiers for energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reductions in government buildings

    "Ensure new federal buildings will be top performers in energy efficiency by adopting the top tiers for energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower long-term energy costs, and stimulate demand for clean energy technologies and green construction jobs." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-23

We don't have any Conservative policies on Green building retrofits.

Bloc
  • Proposer de reconduire le programme de prêt pour les maisons plus vertes

NDP
  • Provide free energy-saving upgrades, including heat pumps and insulation, to 2.3M low-income households, and grants and low-interest loans for 1M more

    "With the cost of living soaring and energy bills eating into household budgets, we will make it more affordable for Canadians to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A major home retrofit program will deliver free energy-saving upgrades to 2.3 million low-income households, and offer grants and low-interest loans to 1 million more. This could include the installation of heat pumps, insulation and other energy efficiency upgrades. It is estimated that in some areas, such upgrades could save a household as much as $4,500 a year." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Pay for free and subsidised energy-saving household upgrades by eliminating public subsidies for oil and gas companies

    "This measure will be entirely financed by eliminating public subsidies for oil and gas companies, saving $18 billion over ten years." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Modernise the Energy Efficiency Act
  • Update the National Building Code to include cooling requirements and safe maximum indoor temperature limits
  • Develop an effective federal emissions performance standard for large buildings

"We will launch an ambitious national retrofit program to reduce emissions and make life more affordable—starting with the people who need it most. Working with local businesses for installation, the program will deliver free energy efficiency upgrades to millions of low-income households, including apartment buildings, with a goal of eliminating energy poverty in Canada by 2035. By retrofitting every building in the country by 2050, we’ll cut climate pollution, lower monthly bills, and create good local jobs in every region." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19
