Toronto Hydro-Electric System’s Business Incentive Program (BIP) encourages and rewards energy-efficient renovation to commercial buildings. Under this program, Toronto Hydro-Electric Systems offers incentives to owners and operators of buildings 25,000 square feet or less. The presentation’s objective is to raise awareness of BIP’s electricity retro-fit incentives. Attendees will learn about BIP’s application process and what equipment qualifies for incentives (e.g. lighting, deep lake water cooling and natural gas-fired generators). The presentation also teaches the importance of technologies that improve the energy efficiency of the building loads, or shift such loads to off peak periods, such as Combined Heat and Power (CHP), solar PV (photo-voltaic) and solar water heating.
