LEADERS IN BUILDING PERFORMANCE
Canadians expect their homes to be well-built and want to take action on climate change. Leading home builders are building to high performance standards today and aiming higher. That’s the energy efficiency market at work. EnerQuality is here to help.
ABOUT US
EnerQuality is the #1 certifier of energy efficient homes in Canada and the market leader in residential green building programs like ENERGY STAR® and Net Zero.
We were founded in 1998 by the Ontario Home Builders’ Association and the Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance. For the last 20 years we’ve been part of the growing residential energy efficiency industry.
EnerQuality’s role is to create voluntary, market-based programs that accelerate housing innovation and improve building performance. We partner with government, manufacturers, utilities, energy advisors, architects and engineers to bring our programs to market.
In 2005, EnerQuality joined forces with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to develop ENERGY STAR® for New Homes. Turns out we created the most successful energy efficiency program in Canadian housing.
In 2018, thanks to funding from IESO and Enbridge, EnerQuality and NRCan again teamed up to develop ENERGY STAR® Multifamily. Now in market, it’s poised to change how we build mid/high-rise housing.
Better Built
Homes™
Buildings account for 11% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. Improving the energy efficiency of housing as it’s being designed and built is an important strategy in the fight against climate change. The good news is we’re on the right track.
Canada has a proud history as the leader in building science dating back to the 1970s. Decades later, market-based programs like ENERGY STAR®, Optimum Home and Savings By Design have helped put the home building industry on a path to low-carbon Net Zero housing.
But there’s more to Better Built Homes than energy and carbon. Building durability and resilience as well as occupant health and comfort are equally important.
Thankfully, EnerQuality’s builders are passionate about sustainability, trained in building science and skilled in quality management. They’re the best in the business and we’re proud to work with them.
