The City of Victoria and the District of Saanich recently launched the Strata Energy Advisor program to help condo buildings in Victoria go all electric and lighten their carbon footprint. The program will help make homes across Victoria more energy efficient and comfortable for people, while also lowering energy bills.

The program provides strata councils with an energy advisor who will visit your building and provide hands-on guidance for climate and energy upgrades, like heat pumps and switching from natural gas to renewable electric heating. The energy advisor will create a personalized decarbonization plan that aligns energy and climate upgrades with required building replacements to keep costs low and stay on top of new regulations.

Victoria and Saanich partnered with the Zero Emissions Innovation Centre (ZEIC) to deliver the program. This program will contribute to the City's commitment to help all buildings become 100 per cent powered by renewable energy by 2050.
