TORONTO — Building materials producer Owens Corning has launched the ComfortCertified Program, which is designed to help Canadian builders build above code and build energy-efficient and affordable homes with sustainability in mind. It also reflects OC’s commitment to help reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. The ComfortCertified Program is a two-tiered “Home Buyer Certification Program” with minimum performance targets verified through third-party energy modeling and on-site blower door testing. The two levels of certification depend on reducing heating and cooling energy use either by 25% for the ComfortCertified label, or by 50%, to be certified ComfortCertified Net Zero Energy Ready. OC says this is the first program of its kind to be offered by an insulation manufacturer.
