Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of the Home Energy Label Program?
- Builders will have a means to verify the constructed energy performance of their home.
- The EnerGuide Label is recognized around Canada and can be used to compare the energy performance of your home compared to other homes.
- Investments you make in energy efficiency at the construction stage will pay off in lower energy bills for new homeowners.
What type of homes are included and how many homes will be labeled each year?
The Home Energy Label Program focuses on new construction homes that are single-detached, semi-detached, or duplexes. Approximately 5,000 of these dwelling types are constructed each year. In the future, the list of home types may expand to include townhouses and rowhouses. Digital energy scores are expected to be produced for over 350,000 homes.
Does a builder have to provide an EnerGuide Label for a home?
Builders can voluntarily provide EnerGuide labels for a rebate through the New Home Pilot. Starting in January 2025, EnerGuide labels may be required on all new low-density homes. The EnerGuide label submission is not required for building occupancy permit, except when EnerGuide Rating System version 15 is being used to demonstrate compliance with the building code.
