Home Energy Performance Map
Use this map as a starting point to understand your home’s energy efficiency, identify upgrade opportunities, and find City programs that help you save energy and reduce costs. This program has been partially funded by Natural Resources Canada's Toward Net-Zero Homes and Communities Program. Learn how other Canadian municipalities are helping homeowners understand their energy efficiency.
How does energy efficiency impact me?
Energy efficient homes minimize the energy used for heating, cooling and daily operations while maximizing indoor comfort. You can lower your utility bills and improve your home’s resilience to extreme heat/cold or other climate impacts.
A note about real-life energy use
The way you use energy in your home can increase or reduce your energy bills. Both the digital energy score and the EnerGuide label focus on how the home is built.
They do not track:
- utility bills
- personal habits (thermostat settings, laundry choices, or turning off light
- renovations completed after your EnerGuide evaluation (unless you’ve submitted a post-renovation EnerGuide label)
Your home's actual energy use may be different from the numbers on this map.

If you already have an EnerGuide label, you can submit it to be shown on the map. After you submit your EnerGuide label will be uploaded to the map, and it will show in place of the digital score (if your home had one).
How to use the map
The Home Energy Performance Map is intended for information purposes only. Digital energy scores represent a digitally modeled approximation of the properties and are not intended to be used as equivalents to EnerGuide Labels or as a main decision-making source of information.

What you’ll see on the map
Digital energy score - an estimate based on the average energy efficiency of similar homes
A digital energy score is an estimate based on:
- average energy modelling for similar homes
- the size of the home
- the year it was built (building code year)
Important: Digital scores and EnerGuide labels do not automatically update when you renovate. You can complete a post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation and submit your new EnerGuide label to be included on the map.
Getting an EnerGuide label may be cost-prohibitive. Digital energy scores can help you understand your home’s energy efficiency without the expense of an EnerGuide label.
Homes with no black border are assigned a digital energy score.
EnerGuide label - an estimate of a home’s energy efficiency based on its specifications
EnerGuide labels provide an estimate of the home’s energy efficiency through a detailed assessment that considers many features of the home. They are only available for homes where the builder or homeowner completed an EnerGuide evaluation with an NRCan-registered energy advisor, and then submitted the label to The City.
An EnerGuide label is created by an NRCan-registered energy advisor who will first complete an EnerGuide evaluation on your home. It is:
- based on a model of your home’s construction and systems
- a label that shows how energy efficient a home is, helping you compare it to others and estimate energy use
- only available if the home has had an EnerGuide evaluation and the label was submitted to the Home Energy Labelling Program
- not mandatory
EnerGuide labels help you:
- understand your home's energy efficiency
- compare homes when buying, selling or renting
- plan for future energy upgrades
- reduce energy costs over time
An energy advisor can help you:
- understand where your home uses the most energy
- identify upgrades that can help reduce energy costs and improve comfort
- get documents such as:
- EnerGuide label
- Homeowner Information Sheet (HOIS)
- Renovation Upgrade Report (RUR)
Find service organizations for existing homes - Natural Resources Canada
If you already have an EnerGuide label, check your Renovation Upgrade Report (RUR) and talk with your energy advisor about upgrade options.
Homes with a black border have an EnerGuide label.
Net-zero energy homes - produces as much energy as it uses annually
Net-zero energy homes are identified on the map by their purple colour. These homes have an EnerGuide label of 0 GJ/a.
This means that the home produces as much renewable energy (like solar) as it uses over a year.
You can find some net-zero energy homes in the communities of Legacy, Cranston, and Alpine Park. Note that this is not an exhaustive list.
A home can show 0 GJ/a without being part of the CHBA Net Zero Energy Labelling Program (Open in new window).
Homes that are purple are net-zero energy homes.

Where the information comes from
The digital energy scores for each property are generated based on average energy modelling, the size of the home and the year it was built. We use information that can be found in three publicly open data sources:
- Natural Resources Canada's EnerGuide evaluations in Calgary: EnerGuide Rating System Open Data - Open Government Portal
- Publicly available data for:
- Square footage of the home: Building Permits|Open Calgary
- Year of construction: Historical Property Assessments (Parcel)|Open Calgary
EnerGuide labels for new and existing homes are collected through City programs, including the Home Energy Label Program and Clean Energy Improvement Program.

Frequently asked questions
I’ve seen my digital energy score. What should I do next?
Consider working with an energy advisor to complete an EnerGuide evaluation. It will help you understand more specifics about where your home uses the most energy, and which upgrades will help you reduce your energy bills.
For more information on EnerGuide evaluations, see the additional resources section of the home energy labelling program.
I just bought a home. How do I check if it has an EnerGuide label?
Look up your address on the map to see if your house has an EnerGuide label.
If your home doesn’t have a submitted label: reach out to a service organization for more information: Find service organizations for existing homes - Natural Resources Canada
I disagree with my digital energy score. Can it be changed?
The digital energy score is an estimate of your home’s energy efficiency. It uses average energy modelling and is not intended as a prediction; it reflects the typical energy efficiency for a home of a similar size and age.
We cannot change your digital energy score, but we can replace it with an EnerGuide label, or remove the score from the map. You can request the removal of your property’s information by contacting EnergyLabel@calgary.ca.
If you have an EnerGuide label, please submit it (PDF) to us.
How are EnerGuide labels collected?
EnerGuide labels for new and existing homes are collected through City programs, including the Home Energy Label Program and Clean Energy Improvement Program. If you have an EnerGuide label for your home that you would like to display on the map, submit your label (PDF).
Are EnerGuide labels mandatory for new homes?
EnerGuide labels are not mandatory for new homes. However, we encourage Calgarians to ask your builder for a label if you’re buying a new home.
Why is my house a different colour than my EnerGuide label?
The scale shown on the map is a different scale than what’s on your EnerGuide label. The map’s scale is fixed, and is relative to all other homes in Calgary.
Why doesn’t my house have a score?
The map shows scores for the following housing types: single family, duplex, townhome or rowhome.
Your home’s score might not be available yet if it is a new build or hasn’t been assessed by The City.
It’s also possible that a previous owner of your home asked for the label to be removed from the map. If you would like your home added back onto the map, please email us at EnergyLabel@calgary.ca or submit your EnerGuide evaluation (if you have one)
I didn’t sign up for the program. Why does my house have a score or label?
All eligible residential homes that did not have an EnerGuide label have a digital energy score. You do not need to opt-in to this program for a digital energy score.
If your home has an EnerGuide label, it would have been submitted by you, your builder or the previous owner through the Home Energy Labelling Program or the Clean Energy Improvement Program.
I’m a homeowner. How do I use this information?
- If you have a digital score: consider getting an EnerGuide evaluation to update your home’s energy performance on the map, and to make informed decisions on your home’s next upgrades.
- If you have an EnerGuide label: review the information provided from your EnerGuide evaluation (label, homeowner information sheet (HOIS), and renovation upgrade report (RUR)) to make informed decisions on your home’s next upgrades.
- If you are selling: consider getting an EnerGuide label to provide the buyer with a third-party verification of the home’s energy efficiency.
- If you are looking to buy:
- Compare the EnerGuide labels of homes you are interested in to help estimate the energy costs.
- Consider asking the seller for an EnerGuide label to gain a better understanding of the home’s energy performance and identify upgrades that could reduce the energy bills.
