R-2000—Every Home Should Be This Good

• R-2000 homes offer exceptional energy efficiency. Heating an R-2000 home takes, on average, one-third less energy than other new homes and far less than used homes. You will enjoy lower energy costs year after year without sacrificing comfort, convenience or fresh air. At the same time, less pollution gets into our natural environment, including greenhouse gasses that contribute to global warming. That's good news for everyone.


• It's the healthy new home choice. Every R-2000 home is equipped with a ventilation system that provides fresh filtered air and removes moisture, particles and odours. The materials used in building your home are carefully selected to keep airborne emissions to a minimum, protecting both your health and the environment. If you're concerned about the quality of the air you and your family breathe, you'll feel good in an R-2000 home.


• R-2000 homes are built by the best in the business. R-2000 home builders are highly skilled and experienced professionals who have taken special training and proven their expertise in order to earn their R-2000 license.


• With R-2000, you know exactly what you're getting. No other home offers the same level of quality assurance. It begins before construction with a computer analysis of your blueprints and includes independent inspection, testing and certification of your completed home. The R-2000 certificate issued by the Government of Canada is your proof that your home meets all R-2000 requirements. This is peace of mind that you can feel good about. And just remember, if it isn't certified, it isn't R-2000.
