Novoclimat Homes

The Home section of the Novoclimat program promotes the construction of new, high energy performance homes, according to specific construction requirements.

Are you planning to buy a new home? Insist that your construction professional build a Novoclimat certified home!

Benefits

It is estimated that a new Novoclimat home enables its occupants to save 20% on energy costs in relation to a house that complies with the Québec Construction Code.
A new Novoclimat home affords its occupants greater comfort and largely improves air quality inside the home.

Certification

To be eligible for the Novoclimat program, the home must be built by a builder who has received training and obtained Novoclimat certification. You can consult the list of Novoclimat certified builders on the Bureau de normalisation du Québec Web Site.
Each home registered in the program is inspected by an independent evaluation consultant and receives government certification that confirms its superior energy performance.
The first owner also benefits from financial assistance.
