The mission of CACEA is...
To support a sustainable profession of successful and credible Canadian Energy Advisors.
Registered Energy Advisors use their expertise in combination with energy modelling software to help homeowners and building professionals make better informed decisions when choosing energy upgrades before building a new house or starting extensive renovations on an existing home.
Every energy advisor in Canada will work within a Licensed Service Organization, who take care of managing the business relationship between EAs, builders and the public. Some service organizations may serve a large region of towns and rural areas, while there may be several service organizations in larger urban centres. All of these organizations are registered with Natural Resources Canada to implement the EnerGuide Rating System (ERS) at the local or regional level.
