Home energy labels help tell the story about the energy used in our homes. It takes 16% of all the energy we consume to power the 16 million buildings in Canada that are used for residential purposes. This comes at a cost, with the average household paying $2,200 annually on energy bills.

Lowering energy consumption and bills can go a long way to making our lives more affordable. Fortunately, there are steps that Canadians can take to make energy efficient changes to their home.
