Performance Path

3 Simple Steps To Participate
-
CHOOSE YOUR PATH
Choose a participation option that fits your project and goals. Or, contact us so we can recommend the path that will best fit your project.
-
DESIGN YOUR PROJECT
With assistance from an energy modeler (if you choose the Performance Path) or your contractor (on the Prescriptive Path), design your new energy efficient home! Be sure to send us your Application Form and your design drawings before significant work starts on the project.
-
GET A REBATE
When your home is complete, we’ll provide an in-home evaluation and third party air tightness testing free of charge. You’ll receive official certification and your rebate shortly after our visit.

- It has a maximum of 3 storeys, with a footprint no larger than 600m2
- It’s a new construction project, not an addition or renovation
- It will use electricity or natural gas from Manitoba Hydro
