Eligibility Guidelines

To be eligible to participate, your newly constructed
single-family home must be within six months of the occupancy permit date and located outside of the urban Halifax catchment area identified below.

Homes with multiple units within the same dwelling and
over-under style multi-unit residential buildings are ineligible. Mobile and manufactured homes built off-site are also excluded.

Efficiency Nova Scotia may cap participation by builder or region at its discretion to ensure research goals are achieved.

Ineligible postal codes include: B2R, B2T, B2V, B2W, B2X, B2Z, B3A, B3B, B3E, B3G, B3L, B3M, B3P, B3S, B3T, B3V, B3Z, B4A, B4B, B4C, B4E, B4G.
