New Buildings Program

The Power Smart New Buildings Program provides technical guidance and financial incentives for designing, constructing, and operating new, energy efficient buildings in Manitoba.

Use innovative strategies and processes to build a cost-effective, energy efficient building. This program uses a combination of strategies:

• Integrated design: a collaborative approach to designing a new building that includes key stakeholders and design professionals from conception to completion.
• Building simulation: maximize your building's energy efficiency with software modeling.
• Building commissioning: verify and document that your new building and systems are planned, designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained for optimal building performance.
• Energy management: recommendations for operational improvements and behavioral changes that manage and minimize energy costs.

All new building projects must be pre-approved before any design work begins. Before you develop schematic drawings and/or apply for any construction/foundation permits, contact us.
