Énergir helps municipalities consume less-and better!

Since 2014, Énergir's energy efficiency programs helped to:

  • Deliver 200+ energy efficiency projects in more than 60 municipalities
  • Generate savings of over 9 million cubic metres of natural gas
  • Generate GHG reductions of 17,000 tonnes—equivalent to taking 4,200 vehicles off Québec’s roads each year*
  • Provide more than $2 million in grants to municipalities
* Assuming that a vehicle clocks 20,000 km a year and emits 4 tonnes of CO2.

Recreation facility

City of Québec

Heating large spaces can often involve a great deal of energy loss. When building the Parc Chauveau indoor soccer complex, the goal was clear—ensure efficient heating and ventilation, excellent air quality, and especially a comfortable environment for the players, without overheating them.
