R-2000 Homes - Built for Living

What is an R-2000 Home?

R-2000 homes are conceivably the most energy-efficient, environmentally responsible homes available today.

Every R-2000 home is designed, built, tested and certified to meet exacting technical standards that exceed current Canadian building codes. A unique blend of technology and craft, R-2000 homes offer significant energy savings, health and comfort advantages and are more environmentally friendly than the conventional home.

R-2000 homes can only be constructed by specially trained builders. These builders are typically the best in their field, so it usually means the house is not only energy-efficient, but better-built as well.
