Efficiency Manitoba is a Crown corporation
dedicated to offering cost-effective
programs and services to Manitobans in
order to reach the province's long-term
energy savings targets. Under the purview of
the minister of the Environment and Climate
Change, Efficiency Manitoba's mandate is
to develop and support energy-efficiency
initiatives that will reduce provincial
electricity consumption by 1.5 per cent and
natural gas by 0.75 per cent annually.
he energy landscape is evolving to address the
climate crisis, and prioritizing energy efficiency is
now more important than ever before," says Allison
Lund, energy efficiency specialist for Efficiency Manitoba.
In 2022, the federal government of Canada released the
2020 national model codes — a new set of standards for
construction encompassing building, plumbing, fire and
energy codes. The national model codes outline a tiered
process for energy efficiency, also referred to as a step code.
Manitoba adopted Tier 1 of the step code in 2024, meaning
that buildings designed and constructed must comply with
the new requirements moving forward. The province will
chart a course through the remaining four tiers over the next
several years.

resale value relative to their less-efficient counterparts."
