Energy Innovators Initiative Advice Tips for
Participants

• How You Can Work With The EII
  as an ENERGY STAR
  Participant

• Provincial governments, retailers and
  manufacturers can apply for funding for your own
  retail, warehouse or office buildings
• Utilities and provincial governments can work
  with the EII through strategic alliances and
  complementary funding for shared clients
• Member-based associations can apply to be
  partners
• Equipment suppliers can promote yourselves
  directly to clients and service providers since
  the EII cannot recommend one product over another
• All participants can promote the initiative and
  incentives to your commercial and institutional
  clients, stressing the implementation of multiple
  types of measures at one time
