			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got yet another promotional piece in the mail from my bank  (RBC Royal Bank has to be responsible for a lot of trees dying each year)&#8230;. This brochure was touting the virtues of an &#8220;<a href="http://www.rbcroyalbank.com/renovating/now-house.html?ProspectID=D6A8AF7A60B94DE89A18FCFD6852CEF5" target="_blank">ecohome</a>.&#8221; That got my attention just before it headed to my blue box.</p>
<p>RBC has invested in the complete green renovation of a wartime bungalow in Windsor, Ontario &#8211; a home only about a decade older than my own drafty house.</p>
<div id="attachment_729" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 386px"><img class="size-full wp-image-729" title="Now House_diagram" src="http://www.ecorenovate.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Now-House_diagram1.jpg" alt="The &quot;Now House&quot; project in Windsor, Ontario" width="376" height="397" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The &quot;Now House&quot; project in Windsor, Ontario</p></div>
<p>Last month was the formal unveiling of  what they&#8217;re calling the<a href="http://wwww.nowhouseproject.com/" target="_blank"> Now House</a> (not sure why that name) which is part of <a href="http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/inpr/su/eqho/eqho_011.cfm#CP_JUMP_163462" target="_blank">Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation&#8217;s Equilibrium</a>™ sustainable housing initiative.</p>
<p><strong>What? Another Rebate?&#8230; that We Didn&#8217;t Know About?!</strong></p>
<p>RBC offers a $300 rebate towards your home energy audit when you finance with them. (It was mentioned in a <a href="http://forms.rbc.com/RBC_NOW_HOUSE/RBC_Now%20House_EN.html" target="_blank">video on the RBC site</a>.) We didn&#8217;t know that, we are long time RBC customers and they currently hold our mortgage.</p>
<p>Or maybe they mean only new customers, who just getting a mortgage with RBC now? (Hmm I&#8217;ll check that out with my branch manager.)</p>
