Whether you're a builder, insulation or window manufacturer, when your customers talk to
you about your product, they are also looking for energy efficiency information. By informing
your customers of the R-2000 program and the availability of the EnerGuide for Houses service,
you are helping your clients make the first step toward value buying.
R-2000 is a unique initiative for builders to construct outstanding, state-of-the art homes
that are supported by third-party quality assurance and certified by the Government of Canada.
Only builders who are part of the R-2000 Initiative can make those claims!
If you are a builder looking to become an industry leader and stand above your competition,
you need to look into the advantages of becoming an R-2000 builder. R-2000 builders are leaders
in the industry. They are professionals who are committed to the “art of home building” - companies
with a strong focus on high quality design and construction. Builders choose to be part of the R-2000
Program because they want access to the best home building technology available so they can offer
their customers a better home.
Becoming a licensed R-2000 builder may not be as complicated as you think. The first step is
to complete an R-2000 builders course. After passing the course, the builder must construct an
R-2000 home. When this home has passed all the tests required for R-2000 certification, the
builder receives the license. All licensed R-2000 builders must also be members of a New Home
Warranty program.
R-2000 teaches you to build better, more energy-efficient homes for your customers. It begins
with the R-2000 Builder Workshop, a two-day classroom course, and continues with the construction
of an R-2000 demonstration house. And regular R-2000 Builder Update Workshops keep you up to speed
on new technical and program developments.
A team of licensed R-2000 professionals work with you to test, troubleshoot and verify compliance
with the R-2000 Standard, from design to construction completion. This is a great support for you and
an important selling point with your customers.
Quality-conscious homebuyers across Canada recognize the R-2000 name. Holding the designation as a
licensed R-2000 builder and displaying the R-2000 logo help to position your company as a leader.
With R-2000, marketing is a cooperative effort. NRCan promotes it nationally, the R-2000 delivery
agents promote it regionally and locally, and you promote it to your customers.
Small or large, R-2000 builders are often the most innovative, forward-looking builders in a community,
committed to building excellence and customer satisfaction. This is a good group to belong to.
