Novoclimat

Construction Voyer is a certified member of the Novoclimat Groupe Sélect of the Agence de l’efficacité énergétique du Québec, which means that the homes we build are highly energy-efficient, comfortable, sustainable, offer quality air and allow you to save money on the heating bill. What’s more, our houses are inspected, tested and delivered with government certification as a proof of their excellence.

Our building standards are well over the current standards of the industry.

Novoclimat^TM requires insulation superior to current standards. The installation of effective insulation from the basement to the attic better protects the structure from the cold and provides for superior energy efficiency at a lower cost.

The walls and roof are built in accordance with new, more efficient techniques. In order to eliminate unpleasant drafts, humidity is prevented from penetrating the walls and damaging the house, making it easier to heat and more comfortable.

As part of the Novoclimat^TM program, only appliances whose efficiency has been laboratory tested and proven are installed. Thanks to a heat-recovery ventilation (HRV) system, indoor air is renewed in every living quarter. Furthermore, surplus humidity, odours and contaminants are blown directly outside.

Whether the house is heated using electricity, natural gas or fuel oil, Novoclimat^TM fosters the installation of efficient appliances providing maximum comfort. Only energy-efficient equipment is accepted.

Novoclimat^TM requires the use of high energy-efficiency doors and windows with increased airtightness and efficiency, manufactured in accordance with the latest standards.

Only specially trained builders and installers can receive the Novoclimat^TM certification.

All houses are systematically inspected to verify that they meet Novoclimat^TM requirements and standards. The inspection is performed by an independent expert certified by the Agence.

In addition to a visual inspection of the home, an infiltrometer test confirms the quality of the home’s airtightness as well as its energy performance.

A Novoclimat^TM certificate is presented to you after you take ownership of the house. It certifies that the house was inspected and complies with the requirements of the Novoclimat^TM program.
