Program-Ready Financing & Incentives
Program-ready energy incentives are not a marketing feature — they are a compliance outcome.
For multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs), mixed-use assets, and portfolio-based properties, government incentives are governed by structured eligibility rules, sequencing requirements, and verification standards. Projects fail not because the technology is wrong, but because scope definition, timing, or documentation does not align with program frameworks.
Pinewoods Hill Eco Solution supports building owners and asset managers by structuring energy upgrade pathways that are compliant from assessment through implementation — not retrofitted to incentives after installation.

Program-Ready Financing & Incentives
For building owners and asset managers, incentives are not a marketing decision — they are a compliance exercise. Eligibility depends on building type, ownership structure, scope definition, sequencing, and verification, not simply on equipment selection.
Save on Energy: Small Business & Multi-Unit Buildings
Save on Energy incentives for MURBs and small business properties are performance-based, not product-based. Eligibility is determined by incremental energy savings relative to an established baseline, supported by approved energy assessment or modelling approaches.
Key requirements include:
-
Clear definition of existing systems and baseline performance
-
Quantified energy reduction (kWh, m³, kW demand)
-
Pre-approval prior to procurement or construction
-
Post-installation verification and reporting
We support IESO Custom Program participation by aligning system selection, capacity, and control strategies with program rules. This includes coordinating assessment assumptions with design intent, structuring scopes to avoid ineligible measures, and managing documentation requirements through project close-out
Federal — Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
The Clean Technology ITC is a tax and compliance program — not a rebate.
Eligibility depends on asset classification, ownership structure, in-service timing, and cost eligibility definitions. Enhanced credit rates may also require compliance with wage and apprenticeship conditions.
We support ITC-aligned planning by:
-
Identifying qualifying project components under ITC definitions
-
Separating eligible and non-eligible capital costs
-
Coordinating ITC planning with provincial incentives where applicable
-
Supporting documentation readiness alongside owners and advisors
Early coordination reduces the risk of retroactive reclassification and protects the financial value of the credit.
Affordable & Rental Housing — Housing-Linked Funding Programs
For affordable, non-profit, and rental housing, funding eligibility is often tied to building classification, operating structure, and long-term performance commitments.
Energy upgrades must align with broader housing program frameworks, including financing requirements, emissions targets, and operational benchmarks. Incentive eligibility is evaluated within this larger context — not as a standalone technical upgrade.
We align energy upgrade scopes with housing-linked funding frameworks by integrating energy assessments, upgrade sequencing, and performance targets into a single, coordinated pathway that supports long-term asset operation.
Residential Oil Heating — OHPA & Home Renovation Savings (HRS)
For residential and rural properties using oil heating, targeted programs such as the Home Renovation Savings (HRS) framework and the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program (OHPA) offer structured pathways to electrification.
These programs are eligibility- and sequence-driven, requiring:
-
Verified heating fuel type
-
Approved assessment and audit processes
-
Defined upgrade pathways and documentation alignment
We support oil-heated households by coordinating audits, upgrade scopes, and program requirements within a single, compliant pathway.
Our Role in Program-Ready Projects
Our role is not to sell incentives or maximize headline rebate values.
We support owners and project teams by structuring energy upgrades so they are compatible with applicable funding and compliance frameworks.
