What is an R-2000 home?

R-2000 homes are the most energy-efficient and environmentally responsible new homes on the market.

The R-2000 Program was created in 1981 as a partnership between the Canadian Home Builders’ Association and Natural Resources Canada to begin moving this exciting new technology into the marketplace. The R-2000 Standard was formalized, home builders were trained in the new design and construction techniques, and consumers began to learn about these “better-built” homes.

R-2000 homes are extraordinary homes built to demanding standards for energy efficiency and indoor air quality that far surpass others in the marketplace. They are designed and constructed by extraordinary builders, who are committed to providing the very best for their customers. They are backed by a quality assurance process that’s unique in the industry. And every R-2000 home is certified by the Government of Canada.
