SaskEnergy has introduced the Homes Beyond Code Program to encourage individuals to build their new home to a higher energy efficiency level than the minimum building code set out by The National Building Code of Canada. 

This program is designed to help you make efficient choices for your new home which will increase your comfort, lower energy use and costs over the long-term and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
