The Benefits of an R-2000 Home
R-2000 offers the best of many worlds:
- cost-effective energy efficiency and environmental responsibility
- careful construction by trained professionals
- a testing and certification regime for each home
Consider the benefits of living in an R-2000 home.
- Quality. R-2000 is a system for building and certifying new homes to a higher energy efficiency standard, well beyond what building codes require. With R-2000, energy efficiency and construction quality go hand in hand – you can't get one without the other. Best of all, any new home of any design can be built to the R-2000 Standard.
- Comfort. R-2000 homes are great to live in. Fresh indoor air, even temperatures, few moisture problems and the use of environmentally responsible materials mean year-round comfort.
- Health. The quality of the air we breathe affects how we feel. R-2000 homes are built to deliver fresh indoor air. They also give you greater control over moisture and air pollutants in your living environment.
- Peace of mind. R-2000 homes go through the most demanding quality assurance process in the industry. Only trained and licensed builders can build them. And every R-2000 home is subject to independent inspections and tests that conventional homes don't receive. The R-2000 certificate is your proof.
- Energy savings. No other new home can stretch your heating dollars further than an R-2000 home. The secret? – Energy efficiency that's "designed in," not "added on."
- State-of-the-art technology. R-2000 homes are the result of 20 years of intensive research and development by the Government of Canada and its industry partners. Home buyers get tried and tested technology, a higher-quality new home and lasting value for the future.
- Protecting our environment. R-2000 homes lead the way in environmental responsibility. Using a wide range of environmentally improved materials and building techniques helps keep Canada's environment healthy. And it reduces demands on our natural resources. R-2000 homeowners get a better new home and help protect our environment for future generations.
