Green Buildings

Buildings and Infrastructure account for 31% of Nanaimo’s community greenhouse gas emissions. Many of those emissions come from the use of fossil fuels, like natural gas, oil, and propane for space and water heating of residential homes.

To meet our climate targets, the City is committed to reducing emissions in new buildings.  The City is also working to help existing buildings switch to cleaner energy sources. Improving home energy efficiency will cut energy use and save residents money. 

Learn more about the City of Nanaimo's efforts to support low-emission, energy-efficient buildings. This includes rebates, grants, and financing.
