Thus spake Canadian Consumers re Net Zero Energy Homes. Too Little Too Late?
Nationwide Market Preference Study
In 2015 the first nationwide market preference study for the home building industry was conducted. The CHBA report, produced in partnership with Avid Ratings Canada, provides in-depth insight into what homes buyers are looking for – and demonstrates the importance of energy efficiency to today’s homebuyers. 1,581 new homeowners across six provinces of Canada (BC, AB, SK, MB, ON, NB) participated in the study.
The top 10 “Must Have” home features identified by the study participants:
- Walk-in closets
- Energy efficient appliances
- Overall energy efficient home
- High-efficiency windows
- Kitchen islands
- Linen closets
- Open concept kitchens
- Large windows
