Cut utility costs without touching rents

For non-profit housing providers and co-ops, every dollar saved on utilities is a dollar that stays in the mission. SensorSuite retrofits your buildings, navigates the funding that pays for it, and watches everything 24/7.

The money for your retrofit already exists

The Canada Greener Affordable Housing program ($1.2B), CIB retrofit financing, and utility incentive programs were created precisely for your buildings. The hard part isn't the technology — it's navigating applications, eligibility, measurement and reporting. SensorSuite's advisory team handles the whole path: audit → funding application → retrofit → verified savings → ongoing monitoring.

Proof: WoodGreen Community Housing

WoodGreen saved $552,586 and eliminated 843 tonnes of CO₂ with SensorSuite — earning the first IREE (Investor Ready Energy Efficiency) certification in Canada. That certification matters: it's the standard funders and lenders trust when they underwrite retrofit projects.

Tenants protected by design

Minimum-temperature floors are locked at the owner's policy — the system can never leave a unit cold. Most tenants notice nothing except more consistent comfort; the savings come from waste (overheating, open windows, vacant units), not from people.

FAQ

We have no capital budget. Can we still do this?

Yes — between CGAH/CIB funding and Paid Through Savings structures, most projects need little to no money down.

Does this affect rent-geared-to-income calculations?

The retrofit targets owner-paid utilities and building systems; we'll flag any suite-metering implications during the audit.

How do we report savings to our funder?

The platform produces measured, timestamped savings and emissions data — the same data that earned WoodGreen its IREE certification.
