D. Green Heat Green Heat is a component of Efficiency Nova Scotia's Existing Residential program, providing financial incentives for the installation of efficient heating systems that use fuel from renewable resources. The new equipment ca...
AI summary Green Heat, part of Efficiency Nova Scotia's program, offers incentives for renewable heating systems. Installations dropped 21% in 2024 due to participants shifting to the Home Energy Assessment (HEA) and Canada Greener Homes Grant (CGH) programs for higher federal incentives. The program includes heat pumps, biomass, solar, and demand reduction measures, with on-bill financing by Nova Scotia Power.
EPI's two funding sources are: - 1. Electricity ratepayers to fund upgrades to reduce electricity consumption. - 2. Government of Nova Scotia and the federal Low Carbon Economy Fund funds upgrades that reduce the use of other fuels. The Ev...
AI summary EPI's funding comes from electricity ratepayers and the federal Low Carbon Economy Fund. 2024 saw a 2.4% increase in participation (9,993 vs. 9,763) and 150,722 efficient products installed, but average savings per participant fell 6.3%. LED lamps dominated (74% of installations), though smart thermostat installation rates dropped 16% due to dissatisfaction. The Evaluator recommends improving installer education and follow-up to address issues.
since MHEEP began in 2019. - A unitary savings review, - An effective useful life (EUL) update study - Calculations using evaluation results, NTGR ratio of 1, and avoided GHG reduction calculations. As part of the 2024 evaluation the Evalu...
AI summary The 2024 evaluation of the Mi'kmaw Home Energy Efficiency Program (MHEEP) reports 0.401 GWh in net electrical energy savings, below the 0.618 GWh target. Methodology changes using a new billing analysis and adjustment ratios (AR) improved accuracy, reflecting higher heat pump adoption. The average effective useful life (EUL) was 20.3 years, with 8.141 GWh in lifetime savings.
H. [Affordable Single-Family Homes (ASFH)](bookmark://_Toc170668323/) The Affordable Single-Family Housing (ASFH) program began in 2023 and provides energy efficiency retrofits and heat pump installations at no cost to income qualified hom...
AI summary The Affordable Single-Family Homes (ASFH) program, launched in 2023, offers free energy efficiency retrofits and heat pump installations to income-qualified homeowners. It partners with Efficiency Nova Scotia's Appliance Retirement and Efficient Product Installation programs. In 2024, 1,210 homes participated, achieving 3.719 GWh in energy savings, up from 1.444 GWh in 2023. Evaluations focused on program impact, savings calculations, and GHG emission reductions.
