About this grant
The Multi-Renewable Energy and Recovery Opportunity Study (Étude d'opportunité multi-EnR&R) is a grant programme that supports organizations in identifying the most suitable renewable and recovered heat and cold solutions for their needs. The study enables project owners to conduct a comprehensive assessment of renewable heating and cooling solutions that are technically compatible with their building or buildings' requirements. The study includes a brief energy audit of existing buildings, identification of sobriety and energy efficiency measures, analysis of available renewable energy resources (district heating/cooling networks, geothermal loops, waste heat recovery, geothermal systems, solar thermal, biomass, aerothermal), and a multi-criteria analysis to compare technical scenarios and identify the most relevant solutions. The programme is designed to support the ecological transition by helping organizations make informed decisions about renewable energy adoption.
