En collaboration avec ses partenaires, RNCan mettra au point un Système d'évaluation de l'efficacité énergétique des maisons au Canada. Ce système deviendra un outil fiable permettant aux constructeurs, aux rénovateurs, aux acheteurs et aux vendeurs de maisons d'évaluer l'efficacité énergétique d'une maison particulière. Le système sera assorti d'une analyse informatique d'une maison et produira une évaluation comparative fondée sur le montant qui doit être dépensé au chapitre de l'énergie en vue d'y habiter. En ce qui a trait aux maisons existantes, le système permettra également de formuler des recommandations sur les améliorations à apporter en matière d'efficacité énergétique. 1, record 2, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20d%27%C3%A9valuation%20de%20l%27efficacit%C3%A9%20%C3%A9nerg%C3%A9tique%20des%20maisons%20au%20Canada
