Multi-Unit Residential Buildings
Saving energy in multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) makes good business sense. Whether your building is a rental property or strata, lower operational costs and higher efficiency buildings means not only greater property valuation but also happier occupants and a reduced environmental impact.
Rental MURBs
The City of New Westminster is collaborating with LandlordBC and FRESCo to help make rental apartment buildings access support and funding for energy efficiency and decarbonization retrofits. Multiple program offers are currently available including Rental Apartment Retrofit Accelerator (RARA) and new CleanBC Multi-Unit Residential Building (MURB) Retrofit Program.
Additional Incentive Programs for MURBs:
