Retrofit Financing Program

Financing for climate-friendly building upgrades.

Financing types

Term loans, lines of credit, mortgages¹

For a variety of retrofits.

Energy retrofits are upgrades to your building that may help save energy costs, add value to your investment, and lower carbon emissions. Whether you're improving the building envelope or going all-electric, we’ll find solutions to help you see it through. Buildings and upgrades eligible for retrofit financing include:

All types of commercial or rental buildings — for example, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, single family detached homes, or single family attached homes

All types of upgrades that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are on a pathway to net-zero buildings— for example, switching to electric heating or cooling, improving insulation, ventilation, windows, doors, installing renewable energy systems like solar photovoltaic system
