IDEAS

The IDÉE program provides support for technological innovations in energy efficiency. It encourages demonstration and experimentation initiatives to validate the profitability and evaluate the commercial relevance of new technologies or new applications of existing technologies. It also supports laboratory projects that test the technical and energy performance of new technologies aimed at both the commercial and residential sectors. Relying on an advisory committee representing different segments and interests of its clientele, the distributor defines market opportunities and analyses every proposal it receives.

Infrared

The program focuses on replacing unit heaters with infrared units, for heating use only. In light of observations and recommendations presented in an evaluation, Gaz Métro mentioned that it is opening up the program to these procedures. Infrared technology is based on radiant heat, which heats objects and people rather than the ambient air. The program is intended for both existing and new Gaz Métro clients.
Commercial, Industrial, Municipal Gaz Métro Natural Gas

Infrared heaters

The purpose of this program is to save on the consumption of natural gas. It is aimed at commercial and institutional clients who are looking to use the infrared heaters. Infrared heaters make it possible to direct heat to specific locations without heating ambient air. The technology is used mainly in high-ceilinged buildings, like warehouses, garages, arenas and churches.
Institutional, Commercial, Municipal Gazifère Natural Gas

Intermediate efficiency water heaters

The program promotes the use of water heaters with a capacity greater than 75,000 BTU/h and an energy efficiency rating of 85%. It is aimed at both existing buildings and new construction, and is of interest to current and new Gaz Métro clients.
