Caution
When you sign the contract to purchase your home, make sure that it stipulates the Novoclimat option. Some contractors may have obtained Novoclimat certification but do not systematically offer this option when they build new homes.
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.
