Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Enersave/Homeplan Program (Canada) : The Enersave/Homeplan Program was administered by the Home Energy Programs Division of the Conservation and Renewable Energy Branch of EMR. Like several other programs administered by this Division (for example, COSP and CHIP), this program was designed to fund substitution for, or retrofit Canadian homes to transfer them off, oil heating.

This program was linked to COSP (Canadian Oil Substitution Policy) which functioned under the authority of the Oil Substitution and Conservation Act (29-30 Eliz II, Chap. 51, 1981), authorizing grants to Canadian home owners to convert from oil heating so as to reduce dependency on imported oil. Since it was not feasible to convert to other non-oil forms of heating in parts of Canada because of lack of substitutes/alternatives, EMR introduced, through its Energy Programs Division, a substitute program to COSP, i.e. Enersave/Homeplan.

The Energy Programs Division introduced Homeplan as pilot projects in four areas in 1981-82 (Yukon and Northwest Territories, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island), and the program functioned till 1984 (save in the Northwest Territories). Under this program, homeowners submitted completed questionnaires dealing with the energy efficiency of their homes (data such as insulation, heating systems, caulking, basement types, etc.). These energy factors were audited by Enersave officials, who then advised applicants on possible ways of retrofitting their homes so as to save energy, and authorized grants for such.

The Enersave Program was a free public information programme available to householders in Canada. It provided heating cost audits that identified potential savings through reinsulation, weatherstripping and other forms of energy conservation by computer processing of responses to queries listed on a questionnaire. The programme also provided information on general energy conservation matters on a toll-free telephone line and published a number of fact sheets and pamphlets.
