Energy Star logo

ENERGY STAR® certified new homes are designed to be as much as 20% more energy-efficient than those built to minimum building code requirements. They feature energy-saving measures, such as insulation upgrades, higher-performance windows, better draft proofing and more efficient heating, hot water and air conditioning systems, for increased savings and comfort.

Since 2018, we have built over 1000 ENERGY STAR® certified homes and continue to build all multi-residential units to this level. These homes are 20% more energy efficient than those built to minimum building code requirements. We choose to build ENERGY STAR® certified homes because they are healthier, more comfortable, environmentally friendly and cost less for our homeowners to heat and cool – it’s a win-win for everyone!

We are proud to have received the ENERGY STAR® for New Homes Builder of the Year – Large Volume Category award for 2019 and 2020 from Natural Resources of Canada and the EnerQuality Award in the ENERGY STAR® for New Homes – Large Volume Category in 2021!

“Energy efficiency in our homes and buildings helps Canadians save money, creates jobs, reduces pollution and contributes to our clean energy future. I congratulate Activa for their ongoing leadership in improving energy efficiency in Canada”

– HONOURABLE AMARJEET SOHI, CANADA’S FORMER MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES.

SAVE ENERGY

Every year, an ENERGY STAR® certified home saves the same amount of energy as watching 17 hockey seasons on TV or running a refrigerator for 10 years. By saving energy in your home, you help protect the environment.

BREATHE BETTER

ENERGY STAR® certified homes have less air leakage than a typical new home, helping to reduce drafts and cold spots, dust, pollen, pests, and noise.
