Clean Technology Tax Credits for Building Retrofits

AEEA was pleased to host Retrofit Vendor FRESCo presenting this webinar February 26, 2026.
This webinar provided a focused overview of the Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (CT ITC) and how it can support low-carbon retrofit projects in commercial and multi-unit residential buildings in Alberta.
The session explained how the CT ITC works in practice, what types of retrofit measures may be eligible, and what building owners and project teams need to consider early to determine whether pursuing the credit makes sense. The content is designed to support early-stage planning and decision-making, not tax filing or compliance.
