If you were a purchaser of a new energy efficient home, you could document the energy efficiency of that home. There are a number of ways to do that. First of all, if it is a certified R-2000 home, you would qualify. Second, if it is a home built under a number of provincial programs that are similar to R-2000, it would also qualify. You could take advantage of NRCan's EnerGuide rating system and have a rating done of the home. If the home was rated at an EnerGuide of 77 or more, you would qualify for a reduction in the insurance premium.
