The Federal Government announced recently that they are re-activating their previously successful program. Many Canadians took advantage of the discounts available after having an energy audit to improve their homes. The results were threefold. While the homeowners improved their homes' energy efficiency, and saved on their home improvements, economic activity was generated, and greenhouse gas emissions were reduced.
