The Problem

Buildings are one of the largest sources of GHG emissions in Canadian cities, and retrofitting them is one of the fastest ways to cut emissions. Funding exists: federal programs, provincial incentives, utility rebates, municipal grants. The problem is fragmentation, different agencies, different rules, different timelines. The real barrier isn't cost or technology. It's navigating the funding maze.

One Stop Shop

Navigating a building retrofit shouldn't require coordinating multiple consultants, contractors, and funding agencies. That's why we created a fully integrated energy advisory service that brings every stage of the retrofit journey under one roof. From identifying funding opportunities to delivering the renovation, Veles serves as your single point of contact, simplifying the process from start to finish.

1. Grant & Incentive Matching

We identify the federal, provincial, utility, and municipal funding programs your building is eligible for, ensuring you don't miss valuable financial opportunities

2. Documentation & Applications

Our team prepares and manages the required documentation, coordinates applications, and helps navigate program requirements to maximise your chances of securing funding

3. Energy Audit & Building Assessment

We evaluate your building's current energy performance, establish a data-driven baseline, and identify the most impactful retrofit opportunities

4. Retrofit Design & Implementation

Leveraging our construction and renovation expertise, we plan and deliver retrofit solutions that improve energy performance while minimising disruption

5. Funding Administration & Project Completion

Leveraging our construction and renovation expertise, we plan and deliver retrofit solutions that improve energy performance while minimising disruption

Why Retrofits.
Why Now.

The Built Environment Is Toronto's Biggest Climate Opportunity

Canada targets net-zero by 2050, with a 40–45% emissions cut by 2030

Toronto targets net-zero by 2040

Buildings account for ~55% of Toronto's GHG emissions

Deep retrofits are no longer optional, they're central to hitting these targets and cutting long-term operating costs.Grants and incentives are growing across all levels of government, but each program runs independently, with its own rules and deadlines.

Built by Builders. Guided by Sustainability.

We started as a construction and renovation company, not consultants. Our recommendations are grounded in what actually works on-site, not just on paper.
Construction expertise + sustainability knowledge = the bridge between retrofit strategy and real-world execution.
