OEB documents show that heat pumps would save new home buyers 13% on their heating costs. But the Ford govt puts forward a bill to overturn the OEB, forcing existing fossil gas customers to pay an extra $600 on their bill to subsidize Enbridge. #onpoli 😡 corporateknights.com/energy/…

@ACORNOttawa is helping tenants mitigate the impacts of climate change in their units, by facilitating their access to retrofits. Their Eco-Tenant Survey will collect data related to energy efficiency, climate resilience and mitigation capacities.docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

This Coffee House for Sustainability event (first in the series) was a big success! Over 200 neighbours came out to coffee chat with "knowledgeable neighbours" on home energy issues. bit.ly/GreenCoffeeHouses

Canada's Green Grants program is so successful its going to shut down early because it has run out of funding. More from @CBCDavid cbc.ca/news/politics/greener…

The Greener Homes Grant is no longer going to be accepting new applications after March 2024.
The program needed to be wound down at some point, but without a policy off-ramp in place the @liberal_party is about to kneecap momentum they built on energy efficiency overnight 🧵

🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨 We crunched the numbers to find out what #HeatPumps actually cost people across 🇨🇦. The result? #HeatPumps are the lowest-cost option for most households, beating out gas heating and air conditioning #cdnpoli

In the #cleanenergy future, instead of burning things to get around, or get warm - we're going to be plugging in. And in #Canada, post-2035 we'll be plugging into a 100% clean electricity grid. Want to know how you'll benefit?
#cdnpoli
Here are three ways Canadians will benefit from a 100% clean electricity grid. #cdnpoli #onpoli #qcpoli #electricvehicles

NEW RESEARCH: Heat pumps are 2-3x more efficient than oil and gas based fossil heating systems in cold and sub zero temperatures.
Even in temperatures approaching -30°C they perform significantly better than their fossil-fuel based competitors.

Beer made with heat pumps is becoming a thing.
Yes, that's right - a 🧵 on the electrification of beer brewing.

Canada's upcoming Green Building Strategy should mandate clean heat in our buildings
This article by me for @IRPP provides 3 policy lessons on how to do that effectively.

From a climate perspective this is key. Over 45% of Ottawa’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions come from buildings, from heating with fossil gas. FAR cheaper to build better & more energy efficiently in the first place, rather than doing expensive energy and carbon retrofits later. 3/4
