Abstract
"R-2000 continues to play a pivotal role in making Canada a world leader in energy-efficient housing technology," said Ron Olson, President of the Canadian Home Builders' Association. "The 2012 R-2000 Standard is an important milestone that will keep the Canadian home building industry at the forefront of building homes that are better for the environment, better for our communities and better for the people who live in them."
Over the past 30 years, R-2000 has been important in encouraging, recognizing and supporting innovation in energy efficiency for residential housing. All R-2000 homes are constructed by licensed and trained builders; evaluated, inspected and tested by independent, third-party inspectors; and certified by the Government of Canada.
