About Built Green Canada

Built Green Canada is an industry-driven, national, not for profit organization committed to working with builders interested in responsible sustainability practices in the residential building sector. The organization offers programs for Single Family (including Net Zero Energy+), Single Family Renovations, High Density (including multi-storey, residential tower, and mixed-use), High Density Renovations, Communities, and Restorations with Small Commercial in pilot. 


Committed to the integrity of its programs, Built Green Canada provides learning opportunities that allow for continuous improvements to building practices, participation affordability and third-party certification, which requires builders to contract Energy Advisors or Engineers to assess the effectiveness of the systems in the home.


While energy efficiency is a fundamental component of these programs, integrating the EnerGuide label through Natural Resources Canada (applicable to our Single Family and SF Renovation programs), Built Green Canada goes beyond energy efficiency, moving the industry toward a more holistic approach to sustainable building practices. An approach that includes the preservation of natural resources, reduction of pollution and GHG emissions, ventilation and air quality, the improvement of home durability, and more. As such, builders and their customers get a two-in-one: the BUILT GREEN® label and the EnerGuide label, offering verification of the energy performance and the green features integrated into the home.


This holistic approach means using advanced building technologies that consider the home as a system or a sum of its parts—everything from site orientation, building materials, HVAC equipment, windows, water and electrical consumption, and builder practices. These component parts all contribute to the way Built Green Canada teaches builders how to use the latest technologies to ensure a healthier, more durable home with a lower environmental impact, costs savings to the homebuyer and choices they can make on how to have a greener home.


Built Green Canada began in 2003, and since then builders have worked with us to complete 53,884 BUILT GREEN® certified single family, MURB, renovations, and high density (including multi-storey, residential tower, mixed-use and renovations) projects, small commercial, as well as three community certifications, represented in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Ontario (as at December 31, 2024).


The organization offers programs for Single Family (including Net Zero Energy+), Single Family Renovations, High Density (including multi-storey, residential tower, and mixed-use), High Density Renovations, Communities, and Restorations with Small Commercial in pilot.
