Enabling Energy Efficiency - Now and for Future Generations

Graph

Bringing It Home is a national initiative that fosters community-centred ‘Healthy Energy Living’ enabling environments that engrain energy efficiency for new and retrofitted homes and facilities. This enabling environment focuses on strengthening capacity across six key domains: Governance & Leadership, Asset Management, Maintenance, Skills, Design & Construction, and Financing.

Check out ICE’s Energy Foundations report, a detailed national report on energy efficiency and housing in Indigenous communities.

Bringing It Home supports Indigenous, community-scale energy efficiency projects through planning and implementation. By guiding this important energy efficiency work, capacity can be fostered as communities gain key skills, training, and knowledge across the enabling environment. With strengthened capacity, Indigenous communities can leverage the synergy between clean energy and sustainable investment to ensure that homes:

  • a)last longer
  • b)are more durable and healthy
  • c)are cheaper to operate over the short and longer-term

Tools and Resources

Bringing It Home is developing and compiling tools, resources, national financing solutions, and hands-on training to foster enabling environments, and support Indigenous communities in the implementation and advancement of energy efficiency projects.

Case Studies

Real-world examples highlighting best practices and lessons learned from Indigenous communities efficiency work across Canada.
