The Greening Multi-res initiative allows MURB owners to continuously assess and improve the energy and water performance of their buildings. Owners will be able to:
- manage energy, water, GHG emissions and costs through an online    system with monthly savings reporting for each building and for the      whole portfolio;
- benchmark energy and water use against other comparable                multi-res buildings in the database;
- develop and utilize performance and system design standards;
- identify high conservation potential in buildings; and
- access characteristics and best practices of top performing                multi-res buildings in the database.

What's new?
The City of Toronto's Tower Renewal Program adds 11 buildings to the Greening Multi-res online system
Federation of rental-housing providers of Ontario (FRPO) joins the Greening Multi-res initiative through The Rental Housing Conservation (RHC) Pilot project. The project aims to achieve measureable energy savings from the identification of conservation opportunities through building performance data, building system audits and other tools. The project will also assess the impact of education and engagement of residents and staff on conservation as well as the implementation of conservation measures such as sub-metering of electricity and appliance replacement.
