The EnerGuide rating system is a science-based system for rating the energy efficiency and emissions footprint of a house, coordinated by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). Rather than prescribing specific steps, the EnerGuide rating system uses computer software to consider the building as a system. The software looks at the relationship between building envelope performance and the heating, cooling and ventilation systems within the building to improve energy efficiency.
