How St. Catharines Collegiate improved ventilation and reduced costs

Built in 1923, St. Catharines Collegiate offers year-round educational programming to more than 600 students, right in the heart of downtown. By participating in the Commercial Custom Retrofit Program and upgrading the building automation system, the historic building was able to reduce natural costs, improve energy efficiency and enhance air quality, making the space more comfortable for students and staff.

How the program works

Project scoping stage

Contact your Energy Services Advisor (ESA) early in the project planning stage to have your project pre-qualified and maximize the incentives available to you. We’ll estimate natural gas savings based on the project details and provide an incentive quote. If you haven’t already worked with an ESA, you’ll be provided with one for support every step of the way, at no additional cost.

Two

Purchase order stage

Contact your ESA and provide a copy of the purchase order. Submit completed technical input sheets with an estimated date of installation and commissioning.

Three

Project commissioning

After the energy efficiency upgrade is commissioned and operational, your ESA will confirm final project details through a site inspection and/or by requesting a copy of the project invoice.

4

Incentive payment

Submit all required paperwork and receive your incentive cheque in 4 – 6 weeks.

Are you an affordable housing provider?

*Customers will apply for the standard energy audit incentives first, which will be paid once the audit is completed. Then, the audit top-up will be automatically added to your implementation project incentive when you act on the audit report and complete a qualifying project depending upon the offer timelines.

Terms and Conditions: All audits and implementation projects must be pre-approved by Enbridge Gas to qualify for incentives. Steam trap replacement or steam system insulation projects must have purchase orders within the booking timelines stated in the offers. If a project attempts and misses the Oct. 31, 2024 implementation deadline, the limited-time offer will apply as long as implementation occurs by March 31, 2025. If a project attempts and misses the March 31, 2025 implementation deadline, the standard Commercial audit and custom project offers will apply. Please note: 1) an incentivized steam trap audit is a pre-requisite to applying for steam trap replacement incentives; 2) replacement of fail-closed traps and steam trap repairs are not eligible for incentives; 3) steam trap monitoring systems are not eligible for audit incentives. HST is not applicable and will not be added to incentive payments.

Disclaimers:
Any references to energy savings is based on the assumption that the participant is reducing their natural gas consumption through participation in the Commercial Custom Program. The savings claim is provided for informational purposes only and is based on estimated natural gas savings of 85,604 at $0.30/m3. These projections are specific to this example, and actual savings may vary for each project.

Any references to Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) reductions are based on the assumption that participation in the Commercial Custom program results in reduced natural gas consumption. Enbridge Gas does not make any claims regarding the specific amount of GHG reductions achieved.
