Action Plan - FCM

Town of Banff Local Action Plan
Capital/Development Costs 17 :
Delivering a Residential Building Retrofit Program and a Commercial Building Retrofit Program
• The federal government already subsidizes the $300 retrofits by $150. Due to the low uptake of the
program to-date it is recommended that the Town subsidize the remaining $150 for 100 homes (at a total
cost of $15,000.)
• There would be no capital investment for the Commercial Building Retrofit Program. (Note: Fees for
commercial participants would be at least $3,500 18 )
• The EnerGuide for Homes and the commercial building audit initiatives would likely require allocation of
30% of a full-time manager position for a four month period (at an approximate cost of $6000).
Ongoing/Operational Costs:
Delivering a Residential Building Retrofit Program and a Commercial Building Retrofit Program
• Promotional efforts could be covered under the Web Portal budget.
• This project would require the ongoing dedication of 5% of a coordinator’s time (at an approximate annual
cost of $2200).
17 Resourcing costs (staffing requirements) are estimated by assuming that program staff involved in carrying out these tasks will either be
coordinators or managers, with average annual salaries of $43,000 and $60,000 respectively.
