Since 1982, the R-2000 standard has led the way in residential energy efficiency. R-2000 homes are built to be 50% more energy efficient than the building code.

R-2000 often focuses on environmental features that reduce greenhouse gases, promote water conservation, and make better use of our natural resources.

The technical requirements of the R-2000 standard include measures for:

  • Efficient energy use
  • Improved indoor air quality
  • Enhanced environmental responsibility in the construction and operation of a home

The requirements are intended to give the builder flexibility in the selection of construction techniques, building products, mechanical equipment, lighting, and appliances.
