EnerQuality’s mission is to help leading home builders take action on climate change and build to a high standard, while aiming even higher. As the #1 certifier of energy efficient housing in Canada (120,000 homes to date) and the market leader in residential high performance building programs, we are well-equipped to do so.

For 25 years, EnerQuality has been creating and delivering voluntary, market-based programs that have helped builders innovate and stay competitive. We partner with government, manufacturers, utilities and professionals to bring our programs to the industry and build a better future. Thanks to market transformation programs like ENERGY STAR®, energy efficiency has gone mainstream and Canadian housing is on the path to net zero by 2030.

Our long-standing relationships within the homebuilding industry allow us a unique opportunity to bring together different perspectives—energy advisors, builders, manufacturers, officials and others—to initiate meaningful, future-focused conversations. Open, honest conversations like these have led to demonstration projects with emerging technologies and builders, material changes to government programs and new labelling programs and initiatives. EnerQuality’s builders are serious about sustainability, trained in building science and skilled in quality construction—we’re proud to work with them!
