Join other businesses across B.C. who are saving money and reducing energy use by participating in the LiveSmart BC Small Business Program, developed in partnership with BC utilities (FortisBC and BC Hydro), industry associations, the Small Business Roundtable and other BC-based small business operators.

The LiveSmart BC: Small Business Program is designed to help small businesses improve their energy efficiency and reduce their energy costs through free Business Energy Advisor (BEA) services, and improved access to efficient technologies and utility product incentives. BEAs are available to work directly with eligible businesses to identify potential energy and money saving opportunities, such as lighting, hot water, heating and ventilation improvements.

In addition, BEAs can provide eligible businesses with recommendations for operational and behavioral changes, which can save you more energy and money!
