EnerQuality Reaches 75,000 Homes Labeled Milestone

ESNH Logo
In February, EnerQuality - the #1 certifier of energy efficient homes in the country - reached a new milestone: labeling its 75,000th ENERGY STAR home.
 
Since the modest start of just 96 labeled homes in 2006, EnerQuality now labels more than 5,000 homes each year.  EQ builders range from the large - with developments of more than 100+ homes per - to small custom firms building just one or two homes each year. 
 
"ENERGY STAR has been the most effective tool in the government's toolbox to influence the marketplace towards greater energy efficiency and less carbon," Corey McBurney, president of EnerQuality said.

ENERGY STAR Training Coming to Ottawa and Waterloo 

With the recent release of the ENERGY STAR for New Homes 2017 Standard, it's time to get up to speed.

The next round of training is in Ottawa (May 2-3, with Ross Elliott) and Waterloo (May 16-17, with Andy Oding). 

For those new to ESNH, and those in need of a refresher, there's Part 1: Advanced Building Science, a strongly-recommended pre-requisite to Part 2, covering the building science principles behind energy-efficient construction. 

In Part 2: 2017 Standard, learn what's new, the ROI of ESNH, improved strategies for success, and how ESNH 2017 and the latest Ontario Building Code will work together.

$199 per day for HBA members 
$229 non-members.
