Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology(CANMET), the research and development arm of Natural Resources Canada, is working in partnership with the Canadian Home Builders’ Association to champion the design and construction of more environmentally appropriate, energy-efficient housing. The Advanced Houses Program, an initiative under Canada's Green Plan to reduce global warming, provides industry with the opportunity to develop and field test new products and technologies. Under the Advanced Houses Program, ten prototype homes, all winners of a national design competition, are being constructed across Canada. Each Advanced House is designed to minimize its impact on the external environment by consuming less than one-quarter the energy and one-half the water of a conventional canadian home and has a significantly better level of comfort and indoor air quality.

Le Centre canadien de la technologie des minéraux et de l'énergie (CANMET), l'organisme de recherche-développement de Ressources naturelles Canada, s'est joint à l'Association canadienne des constructeurs d'habitations pour promouvoir des concepts et des techniques de construction plus écologiques et plus éconergétiques. Pour donner suite aux recommandations du Plan vert relatives au réchauffement planétaire, on a lancé le Programme de la maison performante, qui fournit à l'industrie les moyens d'essayer en conditions réelles de nouveaux produits et technologies. Dans le cadre du Programme de la maison performante, on a construit dix maisons prototypes réparties à travers le Canada. Tous ces projets ont été sélectionnés par un concours national. On a conçu chacune de ces maisons pour réduire à un strict minimum son impact sur l'environnement. Elles consomment moins d'un quart de l'énergie et la moitié de l'eau utilisées dans une maisons ordinaire canadienne et les niveaux de confort et de qualité de l'air y sont bien plus élevés.
