Eligibility Criteria

Most Manitoba commercial properties qualify. The key requirements are straightforward — if you're a Manitoba Hydro commercial customer with a building that's been occupied for at least two years, you're likely eligible.

Building Occupied 2+ Years

The building must have been occupied for at least two consecutive years

Registered Supplier Required

Your lighting contractor must be registered with Efficiency Manitoba — Logic Lighting is a registered supplier

Manitoba Energy Code
for Buildings (MECB)

As of January 1, 2024, the MECB (based on NECB 2020) sets strict lighting power density (LPD) limits for commercial buildings. Older lighting systems may not comply with current code — and the Business Lighting Program gives you a funded path to full compliance.

MECB 2020 — Sample LPD Limits

Space Type Max LPD (W/m²)
Office — Enclosed8.0
Sales Area / Retail11.3
Multi-Purpose Room10.5
Corridor (<2.4m wide)4.4
Lobby — Elevator7.0
Stairway5.3
