R-2000 Construction

R-2000 Means Comfort and Quality

R-2000 is a standard of construction that guarantees the homeowner comfort, quality and low energy costs. R-2000 homes cost about two per cent to five per cent more to build, but offer comfort and efficiency that is hard to match. Cold drafts are eliminated and even neighbourhood noise is reduced.
 

R-2000 Means Certified Builders and Quality

R-2000 homebuilders are specially trained to construct energy efficient homes. The benefits are comfort, quality and low operating costs. A R-2000 home is tested after construction for air tightness standards that will ensure an energy efficient, draft free home. A R-2000 house is also quieter than regular houses and less neighborhood noise gets through the walls. Home comfort has never been so good!
 
 

R-2000 ... The Best in Air Quality

A heat recovery ventilation system, used in a R-2000 home, provides fresh air to each room in the house. It provides economical operation because it recovers heat from outgoing air.
 
 

R-2000 … The Most Efficient House Available

R-2000 is the most energy efficient housing standard available. That means you will pay less to heat your home. A R-2000 house is also environmentally friendly because it uses less energy.
 
 

R-2000 … Highest Standard Available

Certified construction, excellent ventilation and attention to detail. These are all qualities you will find in a R-2000 home. R-2000 represents the best homes being built today.
 
 

Talk to a R-2000 Certified Builder

Any home can be built to R-2000 standards. If you have a house plan already selected, a R-2000 builder can provide a quote based on R-2000 standards. Only R-2000 qualified builders can build your R-2000 home and provide a certificate guaranteeing this standard.
