Thirteen jobs are created for every $1 million invested in energy efficiency. In addition, energy efficiency has a number of direct and indirect health benefits.
 
The Pembina Institute and The Atmospheric Fund have created a handy infographic outlining the multiple benefits of energy efficient buildings. Learn more at pembina.org/efficiency.
