Let’s connect – Ask NRCan

Allow us to introduce you to Natural Resource Canada’s online magazine Simply Science—this online news source provides the latest developments in the fields of energy, forestry, mining and earth sciences through articles, podcasts and videos. We recently used the Ask NRCan podcast platform to update Canadians on information about “The Future of Energy Efficiency for Homes.”

In the episode, our senior technical advisor, Chris McLellan, talks about the next generation of energy-efficient homes in Canada. Tune in to hear about how NRCan is shaping its voluntary energy efficiency housing programs as energy performance in codes and new technologies take centre stage.

Also, as we settle more into the digital space, if you have any questions on this topic head to X and tweet at us using the hashtag “#AskNRCAN”. Our experts will do their best to answer all relevant questions.

ENERGY STAR® Winners

And the 2019 awards go to…

1. Naikoon Contracting Ltd. for the Builder of the Year (Small category)
2. Doug Tarry Homes for the Builder of the Year (Mid-size category)
3. Activa for the Builder of the Year (Large category) and for Promotional Excellence

Each year, Natural Resources Canada recognizes new homebuilder participants that demonstrate excellence in building and promoting ENERGY STAR certified homes. Award winners earn the prized recognition of being the best in their class—and use of a special ENERGY STAR winner’s logo. Furthermore, this year, all the ENERGY STAR winners gathered in Ottawa on May 14th for a celebratory ceremony hosted by the Minister of Natural Resources Canada.
