The Power of Green
Utility costs are the No. 1 controllable expense for any condominium. The cost of natural gas, electricity and water accounts for about 40% of the operating costs of your building and is one of the few costs that you can directly control. By improving the energy efficiency of your building, you can cut these expenses by 15-30%, buffer yourself from rising utility bills and keep maintenance fees under control. The TowerWise program is here to show you how.
Power of Green Condo Retrofit Guide
Read our Power of Green guide to greening your condo. The guide covers everything from getting organized and developing a plan to how to line up financing. You can also order printed copies of the guide.
Energy Savings Purchase Agreements
Under our Energy Savings Purchase Agreements, the Toronto Atmospheric Fund pre-purchases a share of the utility cost savings from your retrofit. It's not a loan and there is no lien placed on the building. Even better, it makes your retrofit cash flow positive from day one.
Case studies
TowerWise has produced a series of case studies of condominium and apartment buildings that have taken action to reduce their energy bills. This real-world experience contains invaluable information for anyone thinking about a high rise retrofit.
