Green Building Rebate Program 
|
|
 |
Green buildings are designed and constructed to maximize efficiency and comfort, without sacrificing style and beauty. Green buildings reduce the need for resources such as energy and water, thus reducing the environmental impact of buildings overall. Healthier for the occupants and cheaper to maintain, green buildings are a community asset.
As of September 1,2007, the District of Saanich will offer rebates on building permit fees for new single family homes built to energy efficient standards.
