Green Communities Canada’s 2025 Retrofit Report shows major progress; over 600,000 homes upgraded and 75,000 jobs created thanks to the Greener Homes Grant. But with the program cut in 2024, momentum has stalled. The report calls for a bold national plan to retrofit 12 million homes by 2050 and keep Canada on track for a low-carbon future.

CHBA Net Zero Eligibility & Designation Update!

CHBA’s Net Zero Bulletin #11 marks exciting progress, with over 1,700 homes now officially Net Zero labelled. The bulletin spotlights innovations like prefab construction and integrated systems that are making energy-efficient, low-carbon homes more achievable, especially in multi-unit builds. It’s a strong signal that Net Zero is no longer niche, it’s the new standard.

DEFINITION OF THE MONTH

Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG)

A high-performance glazing technology made by sealing two panes of glass together with a small gap between them, from which the air is removed to create a vacuum. This vacuum layer significantly reduces heat transfer, making VIG highly energy efficient, thin, and effective at insulation—similar to a thermos bottle for windows.

Please remember to book your mid construction and final blower door tests at least two weeks in advance!

Friendly reminder to anyone needing to book their blower door tests. Please give us a call or email us at manager@capitalhomeenergy.com two weeks in advance to ensure we can have you on the schedule. This will ensure a quicker turnaround time for your reports!

We recommend contacting us for your mid-construction test when insulation has started.
