ENERGY STAR^® for New Homes

The ENERGY STAR for New Homes initiative promotes energy efficiency guidelines that enable new homes to be approximately 30 percent more energy efficient than those built to minimum provincial building codes. The increased efficiency of these homes translates into reduced energy costs for homeowners.

This initiative is currently available in Ontario and Saskatchewan and is managed for Natural Resources Canada by regional service organizations.

For energy-efficient home building in other provinces, consult your EnerGuide service organization.
