The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) has produced a series of promotional videos on home energy efficiency. The videos aim to provide RDOS residents with the knowledge and resources required to make informed decisions about home energy upgrades. Topics include:

• Planning to reduce energy consumption in various homes
• The challenges and opportunities of upgrading to energy-efficient appliances
• Properly insulating your home to reduce heating and cooling costs
• Executing a deep energy retrofit project
• Accessing rebates and incentives for energy-efficient upgrades

To simplify the process and reduce the cost of energy-efficient home upgrades, the RDOS has partnered with Properate, a platform that provides information on rebates, grants, and other incentives. By using Properate, RDOS residents and property owners can quickly find the financial support they need to make their homes and businesses more energy efficient.

“Everyone sees the benefits of improving comfort, lowering bills, and improving energy efficiency in their homes,” said RDOS Chair Mark Pendergraft. “However, the process can be complex and intimidating for some. By featuring the stories of local residents, these videos highlight what the RDOS and Properate are doing to make the process easier and more affordable.”

RDOS residents and property owners are encouraged to watch the videos, use Properate to find relevant incentives, and take actions to improve the energy efficiency of your homes and businesses. By working together, we can reduce our collective carbon footprint and create a more sustainable future for the region.
