Communities | Community Energy Case Studies
Community-scale developments provide municipalities and developers with options for energy reductions, along with unique financial and operational models that are not viable at the component level of individual houses or buildings. CanmetENERGY’s experts are working on tools to assist with community-scale energy planning, including the decision-support tools to aide in deciding which energy system or renewable energy source will meet your requirements.
CanmetENERGY brings you a series of case studies portraying the decisions already made by numerous communities across Canada. The cases provide information about each project’s:
- context
- energy decisions
- drivers and rationale to do the project
- timelines and status
- descriptions, milestones, and considerations for implementation
- costs and financing
- relationship to other best practices
- lessons learned
