The Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) of Natural Resources
Canada has promoted the international ENERGY STAR symbol in Canada
and monitored its use since 2001. The Energy Star®
for New Homes initiative promotes energy efficiency guidelines that
enable new homes to be approximately 25 percent more energy
efficient and produce 2-3 tonnes less green house gas emissions
than those built to minimum provincial building codes. The
increased efficiency of these homes translates into lower energy
bills,improved comfort, lower impact on the environment, and higher
resale value.
