How can my building be certified?

The challenge may be over, but ENERGY STAR certification is here to stay! If you’re one of the eligible building types and using Portfolio Manager, you’re already on your way. Visit our certification page for more information.

If you have not yet registered with ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, it's easy to create a free account. You will need to enter some basic building information and property use details, and a minimum of 12 months of energy data from all your meters in order to obtain an ENERGY STAR score.

If your building type is not currently eligible for a score, Natural Resources Canada will be developing new scores on a progressive basis, and your building type could be next.

If you have specific questions regarding ENERGY STAR certification for commercial and institutional buildings in Canada, please contact nrcan.energystarcertificationbuildings.rncan@canada.ca.
