EQuilibrium Housing

CMHC is pleased to announce that the Net Zero Energy Healthy Housing initiative has been officially branded EQuilibrium Housing. It reflects the objective of balancing our country's housing requirements with the need to preserve and protect our natural environment. Recent market research results indicate that this name is more meaningful to consumers and builders across Canada.
