CEEP Program
Every calculated number on the CEEP page shows its own equation, inputs, assumptions, and source via a 'How was this calculated?' disclosure. This page explains the underlying model.
Boiler efficiency and fuel consumption are modeled with a standard inverse relationship: a boiler running at a lower efficiency burns proportionally more fuel to deliver the same heat output. Improving efficiency from a current to a target level reduces both fuel cost and emissions by the ratio 1 − current ÷ target.
CO2e is calculated using national fuel-combustion factors for natural gas, diesel, and propane (indicative figures, not yet independently re-verified against the current ECCC National Inventory Report), and province-specific electricity grid intensity factors (approximate, reflecting each province's known generation mix — a hydro-dominated grid like Quebec's is roughly two orders of magnitude cleaner than a fossil-heavy one).
A weighted 0–100 model: data completeness (20 points), efficiency performance (25), monitoring coverage (15), maintenance discipline (15), trend improvement (15), reporting readiness (10). This is a NorCanEco program metric — it is not a government rating or regulatory certification.
Government endorsement, government certification, guaranteed savings, guaranteed emissions reduction, pollution-free operation, or regulatory compliance unless independently verified. CEEP uses precise language throughout: estimated, modeled, measured, verified, reported, customer-provided, or official-source.
