Novoclimat pre-fabricated homes. Learn more

Novoclimat pre-fabricated homes are made to comply with the technical requirements of the Department of AEE before they leave the plant.

These strict assembly standards make for more energy efficient homes that are healthier and more comfortable for its occupants. You can decide to either let a Novoclimat-certified builder assemble your home for you, or you can do part of the work yourself.

The Department of AEE delivers a Novoclimat performance certificate when you carry out a portion of the work on your pre-fabricated home. The work carried out must pertain to the requirements of the Novoclimat program. If you decide to contract out the entire construction of your pre-fabricated home to a Novoclimat-certified builder, the Department of AEE shall provide you with a Novoclimat certificate.

These documents enable you to request financial assistance from the Department of AEE.

  • $1,500 for a pre-fabricated home when you do a portion of the work in relation to Novoclimat requirements. The house cannot receive Novoclimat certification but could be granted a performance certificate;
  • $2,000 for a pre-fabricated home assembled entirely by a Novoclimat-certified contractor. The house can receive Novoclimat certification if the contractor provides a turnkey service.

In both cases, the pre-fabricated house manufacturer will provide you with the necessary documents and the form to request financial assistance from the Department of AEE.
