HELPFUL ARTICLES

Look no further for articles, resources and more to help you navigate the ins and outs of building and renovating an energy efficient home.

ELIGIBILITY

The more qualified and skilled a builder’s team, the better their builds. We encourage Builders and Renovators from all over the Province to take our training, levelling-up the energy-efficiency, quality, and appeal they’re able to offer homeowners.
