Background of the organization
Green Communities Canada (GCC) has been leading a community-based climate action movement since 1995, working together with a network of 40 organizations (mostly in small rural communities) from across the country to share resources and co-create programs to decarbonize buildings and transportation, their mission being to advance transformative, equitable, and lasting change.
Project description
Funding will support GCC in training energy advisors and contractors to properly size heat pumps so that we reduce our reliance on fossil fuel systems and maximize potential for a net-zero transition. They will also work with utilities and governments, including the new federal home affordability program, to promote heat-pump rightsizing, as 70% of currently installed heat pumps are being undersized. GCC’s efforts will also take place in First Nation Communities.
