Energy Audit (CMHC MLI Select)

The MLI Select program from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) is one of the most advantageous financial levers available to rental property owners and developers in Canada. It rewards new or renovated residential projects that meet higher standards in energy efficiency, accessibility, and affordability.

By optimizing your building’s energy performance through an audit conducted by QualiTAM in Montréal, you can not only reduce operating costs but also fully benefit from the financial incentives offered by MLI Select, including:

• preferential mortgage rates;
• extended amortization periods;
• increased loan-to-value ratio, allowing you to finance more of your project.

Why is an Energy Audit Essential for the MLI Select Program?

To qualify for the MLI Select program, you must demonstrate that your building meets specific energy efficiency criteria. This is where the energy audit comes in.

At QualiTAM, we perform a comprehensive analysis of your building in order to:

• identify energy losses and areas for improvement;
• assess the performance of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems;
• measure the effectiveness of insulation and airtightness;
• propose concrete solutions to help you meet or exceed CMHC’s required thresholds.

Our report is designed to integrate directly into your MLI Select application, avoiding delays or refusals due to incomplete documentation.
