The ENERGY STAR for New Homes initiative promotes energy efficiency guidelines that enable new homes to be approximately 25 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 also designed to encourage energy-efficient practices that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By identifying and promoting energy-saving products, the initiative helps protect the environment and lowers energy bills at the same time. |

ENERGY STAR for New Homes is currently available only in Ontario and Saskatchewan and is delivered in the field by a network of Service Organizations. If you are interested in buying an ENERGY STAR qualified new home, contact BEC to schedule an evaluation of your building plans. |

An ENERGY STAR qualified new home is a home that has been built by a licensed ENERGY STAR® for New Homes builder who incorporates energy efficient features into the home so it can meet the ENERGY STAR® for New Homes technical specifications.
