About Atuttiarniq: Uqurmiut

Atuttiarniq work has been in progress across South Baffin since Winter 2020. Atuttiarniq: Uqurmiut is a $24M project co-funded by the Federal Government’s Low Carbon Economy Fund. It includes 44 government buildings spread out across 6 coastal communities and focuses on both energy conservation and clean, renewable energy generation. $18M within Atuttiarniq: Uqurmiut is dedicated to energy conservation in buildings. Reducing the energy consumption in the government buildings across the Region is expected to generate over 2,000 tonnes eCO2 in annual Greenhouse Gas emissions, and reduce energy costs by over $2M. It also allows the government to be strategic with investment in building-level renewable energy systems that are ‘right-sized’ for lower building energy needs.
