There is rising interest in Virtual Energy Audits (VA) from existing homeowners interested in energy efficiency retrofits. However, outputs from VA platforms do not connect to the HOT2000 software that generates the file required for an EnerGuide Home Evaluation (EGHE), a Clean Energy Improvement Programs (CEIP) requirement in Calgary and Edmonton.

This project is building and testing an application programming interface (API) that will enable the exchange of information collected in VA software platforms to our HOT2000-powered Volta SNAP platform, bridging the gap between completed VAs and EGHEs. They will pilot the API in Calgary and Edmonton during the 18-month project.
