Greening Buildings

TowerWise is focused on improving the energy efficiency of residential high-rise buildings. If you are a high-rise resident, condominium owner, building manager, owner or builder, this site has the information you need to reduce costs and your building's environmental impact. TowerWise is a project of the Toronto Atmospheric Fund.

	TowerWise News Zero interest financing The City of Toronto has now extended its zero interest loan program for energy conservation and efficiency projects in multi-residential buildings to private sector buildings. Sustainable Energy Fund interest-free loans are capped at 49 per cent of a project's total eligible costs, to a maximum of $1 million per project from each of two funds: the Toronto Energy Conservation Fund (TECF) and the Toronto Green Energy Fund (TGEF). The TECF specifically supports energy conservation projects as part of a retrofit to an existing building. The TGEF supports the undertaking of a renewable energy project as part of an existing building retrofit or a new construction project. Certain projects may qualify for funding through both funds to a maximum of $2 million. More details are available at www.toronto.ca/energy/sef.
