The Canadian Home Builders’ Association is the voice of residential construction in Canada and in New Brunswick. Our Provincial Office is located in the heart of downtown Fredericton, New Brunswick. We promote excellence in residential construction and work to improve the quality of housing, provide training and skill development to industry by certifying home builders and renovators through our CHBANB MASTER BUILDER® Program. We provide public education on building science, help consumers understand the benefits of hiring a professional contractor and we champion energy efficiency in New Brunswick (since 1980) by delivering the R-2000, Energy Star and Net Zero Housing Programs. We are a not-for-profit Association representing industry practitioners from all corners of New Brunswick.
One of our primary services to the residential construction industry is providing energy efficiency training to energy advisors, builders, renovators, building officials, indigenous communities, real estate professionals, HVAC professionals and consumers. Our Energy Advisors also works closely with builders who want to move from Code built homes to High Performance Homes including Energy Star for New Housing, Net Zero Ready and Net Zero Homes. We are currently working with industry stakeholders and partners to prepare our industry for stringent building codes that will see our industry moving to zero emission buildings by 2050 in conjunction with the Government of Canada’s Green Housing Policies.
