This paper provides an overview of how building simulation is used to support a Canadian Govern- ment energy-efficient incentive programme. It describes the two software tools (detailed simulation software and a simplified web-based method) that were developed to support the programme. The classroom and computer-based initiatives used to train users are also described, this being key to support programmes of this nature.
