Most Canadians recognize ENERGY STAR® as a symbol of quality and associate it with higher standards of energy efficiency and performance." Leverage this trusted label by building ENERGY STAR® qualified homes, proving to your homebuyers that your homes will offer better performance and lower utility bills – all while caring for the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
ENERGY STAR® certified homes feature energy-saving choices such as upgraded insulation, high-performance windows, air sealing and duct sealing and more efficient HVAC systems, which add both to occupant comfort and ongoing energy cost savings for the homeowner. These homes typically include ENERGY STAR® certified products such as light fixtures and bulbs, furnaces, water heaters and upgraded ventilation systems for improved indoor air quality and energy savings.
ENERQUALITY is the leading certifier of ENERGY STAR® in Canada.
