• Improved home performance and increased energy and water efficiency compared to homes built to minimum codes
• Healthier, more comfortable homes
• More durable homes
• Smaller carbon / environmental footprint than conventional homes
• Reduction in long-term costs through increased efficiency

In addition, depending on your municipality and utility company, there may be significant incentives and rebates available for building a high performance home.
