Home Energy Labelling

Home Energy Label Program

The Home Energy Label Program empowers Calgarians to understand their home’s energy use and make informed decisions to reduce their energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

Home EnerGuide label

EnerGuide labels are used to rate the energy performance of homes, much like they are used with major home appliances, like washers and dryers. They breakdown how a home uses energy and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with that energy use. The rating on the label can be used to compare the energy efficiency of a home to a typical new home, and other homes with EnerGuide labels.

EnerGuide label rebate and requirement

The Home Energy Label Program - New Home Pilot is accepting enrollments and is now available for more housing types. Participating builders receive a $250 rebate per energy label up to a maximum of $7,500 per applicant.

The rebate is available on new building permits (BPs) for single-family, semi-detached, duplex, rowhouse or townhouse homes. Additionally, the $7,500 maximum will reset for all applicants on April 7, 2025.

Learn more about eligibility requirements and how to apply.

In the future, home builders may be required to disclose an EnerGuide Label for all new low-density homes built in Calgary, pending the passing of a bylaw by Council.

Home Energy Performance Map

Launching in 2025, the Home Energy Performance Map will provide open and accessible home energy data for all residential properties throughout the city. It will combine submitted EnerGuide labels with modeled digital energy scores, which are calculated with historical energy consumption data.

By disclosing the energy performance ratings of homes, builders and homeowners can more accurately assess the energy costs and the associated greenhouse gas emissions of ownership and operation, as well as assign value to energy efficiency when buying, selling or renovating a home.

The City is accepting voluntary EnerGuide label submissions for inclusion on the Home Energy Performance Map. If you already have an EnerGuide label for your residential building(s), please review the Terms and Conditions and then submit your label by clicking on the button below.

What is a digital energy score?

Creating an EnerGuide Label for all existing homes in Calgary would take a very long time. Digital energy scores are calculated using historical EnerGuide data or energy consumption data.

These home energy scores are less accurate than EnerGuide Labels, but can cover more than 350,000 homes and eliminate the need for on-site testing. These existing home digital energy scores would be disclosed on the Disclosure Tool alongside the new home EnerGuide Labels.

If your home has an EnerGuide Label, you will be able to replace your digital score.
