ACCELERATING PERFORMANCE
When it comes to housing, Canadians expect quality and want action on climate change. Leading home builders know this. They’re already building to a high standard and aiming higher. EnerQuality is here to help.
ABOUT US
EnerQuality is the #1 certifier of energy efficient housing in Canada and the market leader in residential green building programs.
Founded in 1998 by the Ontario Home Builders’ Association and the Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance, we’ve been part of the growing green building industry for over 20 years.
EnerQuality creates voluntary, market-based programs that support builders and accelerate innovation. We partner with government, manufacturers, utilities and professionals to bring our programs to market.
In 2005, EnerQuality joined forces with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to develop ENERGY STAR® for New Homes. And the results are in: we created the most successful energy efficiency program in Canadian housing and proved that government and industry can do great things together.
In 2018, thanks to funding from the IESO and Enbridge, EnerQuality and NRCan again teamed up to develop ENERGY STAR® Multifamily. Now in market, we’re working with the Government of Canada and the homebuilding industry to change how we build mid/high-rise housing.
Better Built
Homes™
Improving the energy efficiency of housing is a critical strategy in the fight against climate change. The good news is builders agree.
Canada has been a global leader in building science since the 1970s. Decades later, thanks to market transformation programs like ENERGY STAR®, Optimum Home and Savings By Design, energy efficiency is now mainstream and Canadian housing is on the path to net zero by 2030.
But there’s more to better building than energy. Durability, resilience and occupant health are equally important dimensions of quality. And when it comes to carbon, how we plan our communities and the materials we use in construction are as meaningful as the energy we use to power our homes.
Thankfully, EnerQuality’s builders are serious about sustainability, trained in building science and skilled in quality construction. They’re the best in the business and we’re proud to work with them.
