Homes Beyond Code
Home Builders are eligible to receive $800 per approved building.
SaskEnergy is encouraging individuals to build their new home to a higher energy efficiency level than the minimum building code set out by The National Building Code of Canada.
As we work towards building a more sustainable future for Saskatchewan, we look forward to seeing builders pave a path for energy-efficient homes in our province.
To qualify for a $800 rebate, the house must be:
- a new residential home in Saskatchewan.
- a detached house, semi-detached, row house, townhouse or modular home built on a permanent foundation.
- connected to SaskEnergy’s natural gas system and use natural gas for space heating.
- modelled by a Energy Advisor from a registered service organization or member of the Canadian Association of Consulting Energy Advisors.
- built to energy efficiency tiers 3, 4 or 5 of section 9.36 of the National Building Code of Canada.
- verified by a Energy Advisor completing an assessment of the home, as-built.
