Here is some general information from a webinar that I attended:

 

CMHC Eco Plus

Apply for a 25% partial premium refund if you’re CMHC insured and buying or building an energy efficient home.

As of June 20, 2022, CMHC’s Green Home program is CMHC Eco Plus.

This new name comes with enhancements that benefit homeowners like you. You can apply for a partial premium refund of 25% if you’re CMHC insured and have an energy efficient home.

As energy efficiency standards improve, so will the criteria for the Eco Plus program. It will include more certifications and continue to align with Natural Resources Canada's EnerGuide rating system.

Apply for a partial premium refund of 25% if you’re CMHC insured and working on energy efficient renovations to your recently purchased home.

CMHC Eco Improvement aims to reduce the environmental impact of housing by supporting energy-efficient improvements. Apply for a 25% partial premium refund if you’re insured with CMHC and you’re spending at least $20,000 in energy efficient renovations. The program is available for both home buyers and individual condo buyers.

It aligns with CMHC's commitment to combat climate change and the Canadian government's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
