The Consumer is more and more aware [of the importance] of Energy Economics

The Québécois consumer is more and more aware [of the importance] of energy economics and the owners of rentable apartments are so more in particular. There are several tools to understand and improve energy efficiency in buildings and in many cases one can obtain interesting subsidies in Quebec to do so.

An array of useful information is available on the Website of the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) at: www.cmhc.ca .

Eco-energetic renovation is a vast domain and practical advice concerns all kinds of dwellings. An older dwelling, for instance, will often require more specific and also often more important renovations. There is ample publicity to make the consumer as well as the landlord and the tenant aware of the importance of concretely improving the energy efficiency of their habitation, of reducing heating and electricity consumption, all of this while obtaining higher comfort levels for all the occupants as well as a reduction in costs.
