Green-o-meter

Watch our Green-o-meter grow, as we climb toward our goal of having 250 Calgary homes evaluated using the EnerGuide rating system.

Tips

Did you know?

Today, 17% of all energy used in Canada goes toward running our homes. By using less energy in your home, you can help reduce the production of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to climate change and harm the environment.

Maintenance tip

The building envelope is made up of a house's exterior walls, basement, exposed floors, ceilings, windows, roofs and doors. As homes age in Canada's severe climate, tiny cracks open in the building envelope. Any future renovations to the home may affect the house's building envelope. Keep this in mind when evaluating your home's energy use.
