This document proposes a new methodology called "Many Roads to Rome" to continually update the R-2000 residential construction standard. The methodology is designed around a "Pick List" that provides builders flexibility to choose leadership focuses in areas like health, economy, and resilience. Builders would complete a minimum of one "Pick" from List A or five from List B. Picks would be recorded online and the standard would self-update based on collective experience. The goal is for R-2000 to remain commercially viable and leading edge in each market through collaborative leadership and local capacity building. Input is sought on developing the Pick List and implementation plan.

My dear daughter, while technology allows us to connect across great distances, an online relationship is no substitute for truly knowing someone. Before committing your life and heart to this man, I gently encourage you to spend meaningful time with him in person so you can truly understand each other and determine if you are compatible for the long run. Look beyond just words and photos online - see how you interact face to face and know his character through real experiences together. Please be cautious, think carefully, and don't rush into life-changing decisions based on limited virtual contact. I'm here if you ever want to talk or need help discerning your path. But for now, focus on really getting to know each other in reality before deciding on marriage. Your happiness is

2. Thirty years ago, R-2000 Standard started a major
evolution in building science that is still going strong
today: House as a System.
Today, R-2000 Standard is a "best-in-class" low-rise
residential construction brand that
has a loyal builder and market following, and
competent technical support, in almost every urban
and rural part of Canada, and
continues to be a great influencer of many other
residential standards and regulations in Canada and
beyond.
3. 2012-14 Update of R-2000 Standard
• In 2012-14, a renewed R-2000 Standard will be
implemented in phases by NRCan to verify and certify
homes performing at least 50% better than code.
• The incoming President of the Canadian Home Builders'
Association (CHBA) has recently written to all CHBA
members, exhorting them to build and differentiate
their corporate brands using the updated R-2000
Standard.
4. Joint NRCan/CHBA Vision for the
2012-14 Renewal of R-2000 Standard
• to provide the home building industry and consumers
with a technical standard that represents the leading
edge of commercially-viable new home construction
• based on available and proven technology, products,
materials and building techniques
5. What’s NEXT ?
Getting more good things ready for future
revisions to the R-2000 Standard will take time.
Shan't we be proactive and start now?
After all, the to-do list is very long.
6. The proposed methodology “Many Roads to Rome” is being
designed around the R-2000 Standard to continually :
1. unleash leadership energies in each and every
housing sub-market, making sure that R-2000 will
always be both viable and leading-edge in that submarket;
2. build a live standard by accumulating collaborative
efforts and consolidating gained grounds;
3. self-regenerate and re-invest;
4. build local capacity to push the envelope;
7. The proposed methodology “Many Roads to Rome” is being
designed around the R-2000 Standard to continually :
5. rely on open accountability and a transparent record
of actions;
6. enter new local First's into the leadership "history
book" of each market and sub-market; and
7. rely as little as possible on any funding, and be
resilient to fiscal changes and economic fluctuations.
8. The Point :
Maximally honoring the hard-nosed businessperson and the
visionary enthusiast in each and every builder, developer,
banker, manufacturer, trade, supplier, consultant, insurer,
inspector, marketer, designer, and the investor-homeowner.
Bonus Point :
Responding to the future, today !

11. Long-term Funding for R-2000 ?
• R-2000 had been vulnerable to abrupt changes in
government funding at different times over the past 30
years.
• Do you think there can be an R-2000 Office that claim
ownership of, and hence "sell" (say, 20 percent of first 5
years' emission reduction or 1 T-CO2e per 100m2) as offsets
to fund the whole R-2000 operation and development ?
[® R-2000 is an official mark of Natural Resources Canada]
• What do you think could be a first step in realizing fiscal
independence for R-2000 ? Should this be pursued ?

21. “Main Themes”
1. “Rome was not built in one day” --- R-2000 builds
sustainability through “one builder initiative at a time.”
2. The Pick List provides a Living Framework for Leadership
Choices.
3. R-2000 continuously looks forward.
4. R-2000 is seen as more than a “Standard”; it also represents
the “SUM” of builder leadership that together promises a
sustainable future for our children and grandchildren.
“Together We Lead.”
5. R-2000 is adaptable to the priority needs as well as the unique
opportunities of each jurisdiction and neighbourhood.
22. “Projected Outcomes”
1. Over a period of time, more and more of List “B” will become
standard in each jurisdiction and postal code area. Builders
will very gradually move to List “A” when they have mastered
enough Picks under List “B” with the help of reference
method templates.
2. There’re lots of “First’s” for builders to compete for and
market on, or to showcase and lead.
3. A few particular Picks might never be chosen, perhaps due to
irrelevance or are much tougher to get to for some/all
neighbourhoods. Some of these Picks are there to invite
future opportunities and to acknowledge their
accomplishment.
23. “Projected Outcomes”
4. There’s a built-in self-regulating mechanism that would
keep R-2000 “best-in-class” in each and every jurisdiction
and neighbourhood. R-2000 continuously delivers
meaningful additionalities, and avoids becoming “stale” or
“stagnant”, or “technologically obsolete”.
5. There’ll be a public registry of (coded or named) builders and
projects with registered Picks and accomplished results.
6. Builders, designers, suppliers, consultants and verifiers
experienced with each Pick will be recorded and searchable
in a public online registry.
24. “Projected Outcomes”
7. There’s a built-in self-regulating and synergistic mechanism
to continuously update the standard of compliance and
verification, based on up-to-date information and collective
experience.
8. There’ll be an animated online map of Canada that shows the various layers of
historical and current/real-time activities (and leadership) of R-2000, zoom-able
down to data of each province/territory, electoral district and postal code, and
linked to the R-2000 Page on Wikipedia.
9. There’ll be a revival of EnviroHome to showcase exemplary R-2000 Homes, with a
prerequisite minimum number of Picks from List “A” for each year’s entry. E.g.
EnviroHome2012 = 2xA’s, EnviroHome2013=3xA’s, etc. However, a home built in
2012 can be labeled as EnviroHome2015 in 2012 if it has 5xA’s, giving these
progressive builders a unique marketing advantage not offered by any other local
or international rating/labeling standards.
25. “Nuances”
1. R-2000 is leadership on the ground i.e. going beyond the basic
standard is recognized relative to the “local pack”.
2. R-2000 is continuously “newsworthy” and market-note-worthy in the
local community.
3. R-2000 is made slightly easier for “early adopters” in each
neighbourhood; hopefully this would help R-2000 to proliferate into
different neighbourhoods.
4. There’s a growing number of labeling/rating standards in the housing
market regionally and internationally, but none of them currently
acknowledges choice (& innovation) in leadership focus, and provides
for collaborative leadership.
26. “Nuances”
5. One major (or a few minor) Pick List focus for each project is key to
reducing costs (of administration, of testing, of certification, of training,
of procurement, etc.) for builders.
6. Just like before, it’s still a Pick List, albeit renewed.
7. R-2000 is comprehensive, as a whole, and leads on all fronts; R-2000
catches all, and responds to the chosen priorities of customers.
8. Removing arbitrariness: R-2000 is not designed for points-chasing for
the sake of points, e.g. what is the use of an air filter with a higher
MERV rating than is necessary for a particular project?
9. R-2000 Builders are given more freedom of means to achieve their
“Picked” objectives, and have autonomy in deciding which skills to
master first.
27. “Nuances”
10. The Pick List is predominantly objective and performance based, and
less defined by third party building product certification.
11. The “main body” of the R-2000 Standard contains the essentials; the
“Best Practice Guide” contains the ought-to-do’s &
recommendations. The Pick List contains choices for leadership.
12. R-2000 serves as linking pin between known desired outcomes (based
on Canadian health, environmental, social and economic research and
development, including those of NRCan, CMHC, IRC and NRC) and
realization of durable benefits in communities and marketplace.
13. As each Pick becomes established in the “Accomplished Communities”
(see S1.1), it would be easier for the Pick to become a standard
requirement in that community, thereby leveling the playing field
incrementally in step with progress made by the local R-2000 Builders.
28. “Nuances”
14. Providing initial guidance and facilitation (supplying method
templates, and hosting internet forums & webinars?), and then
consolidating builder experience into useful tools and resources, are
keys to minimizing costs of implementation and engagement, and
leveraging the collective efforts of all R-2000 Builders to build a most
cost-effective vehicle to provide market leadership in substantially
improving both the energy efficiency and sustainability performance of
the homebuilding industry. This is especially important in economies
where the house market is set to stabilize.
15. R-2000 Builders are system-thinkers, and each step forward further
builds knowledge and expertise in system-thinking.
29. “Limitations”
1. This is a labeling and not a rating system. It encourages collaborative
leadership and enforces a high minimum standard, but it does not
give more credits to more merits. Each of us shows the way for the
others.
2. There’s no weighing applied to the relative merits of each Pick.
There’s no guidance on whether some of the Picks should be given a
higher priority than the others.
3. Some of the Picks might be pursued at the expense of other Picks on
the Pick List.
30. “Next Steps?”
1. It may need another __ weeks
of dedicated work to review and
develop this document into a
complete and rationalized draft
together with method
templates, commentary and
resources, standard of
compliance and verification
requirements; and then __
weeks to seek and consolidate
input/comments from relevant
authorities and/or expertise for
some of the proposed Picks.
2. After that, it may need __ weeks
to prepare a detailed proposal
on implementation planning and
draft guidelines for delivery
agents, service providers,
verifiers, designers and builders.
3. The supporting database
management tools and webbased templates and reports
may be developed and tested
concurrently with the above.
31. “How It Works”
Step 1. Minimum 1 Pick from List “A” or 5 Picks from List “B”
Step 2. Propose Standard of Compliance & Verification
S2.1 The Builder shall propose (see 2.7) a Standard of Compliance & Verification, and post
this online for comments for 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks, the Builder shall respond
online to all the comments, and after allowing 1 week for further comments, the Builder
shall incorporate all valid considerations, and then post a “Registered Standard of
Compliance & Verification” online.
Step 3. Record Process, Progress & Verification using Online Journal
S3.1 The R-2000 Builder shall provide a weekly or biweekly journal entry that documents
the implementation progress and process. The entry may include text description, scanned
contracts / receipts / document / correspondence, photographs, embedded video etc. The
journal entry, once saved or sent, is not editable.
S3.3 When the Pick is considered complied with and verified or verifiable, the Builder shall
submit a journal entry to record that together with pertinent information.
S3.4 R-2000 Completion Inspection shall only take place after the Builder has declared
online that all the Picks are complied with and verified or verifiable.
32. Step 1. Minimum
1 Pick from List “A” or 5 Picks from List “B”
Note:
S1.1 “Accomplished Communities” are defined to refer to a list of (e.g. the
first 3 characters of) postal codes or jurisdictions
- where the Pick in List “B” is already a standard (e.g. by regulations) or “fast
becoming” ** one, and
- hence this particular Pick in List “B” is no longer considered an eligible R2000 Pick in the listed jurisdictions or postal codes.
S1.2 ** “fast becoming” is established when
a).the last 10,000 square metres of R-2000 Homes built in a particular
jurisdiction/postal code, and
b). 80% or more of R-2000 Homes (in floor area) built in the preceding 12 months in
that jurisdiction or postal code, have all met that particular Pick on List “B”.
S1.3 ** “fast becoming” is also established when it is reasonable to believe
a). that the last 10,000 square metres of all homes built in a particular
jurisdiction/postal code, and
b). that 25% or more of all homes (in floor area) built in the preceding 12 months in
that jurisdiction or postal code, have all met that particular Pick on List “B”.
33. “Under the hood” :
S1.4 Each Pick applies to the entire project, or the entire phase of a multifamily project.
S1.5 It is acceptable to select Picks that overlap or are similar in the Pick List.
However, not more than 2 out of the minimum 5 Picks under List “B” shall be
“situational”, as labeled by [S].
S1.6 If there is uncertainty in successful compliance and verification, the
Builder is advised to pick more than the minimum number of Picks to ensure
that the home would be certifiable as R-2000.
S1.7 The local or provincial homebuilders’ association, or the MP, MLA or
municipal councilor representing an “Accomplished Community”, will be invited
to propose a new objective-based Pick that represents the priority of that
“Accomplished Community”. The new Pick, if accepted by NRCan/R-2000, will
be available for all to pick. This opportunity may be used, if considered
necessary, to provide a step above the requirement of the accomplished Pick, or
create an intermediate step before the next higher objective.
S1.8 “Reverse dispersion” means implementing a permanent restorative
strategy to reduce the substance on the project property at a rate higher than
the half-life of the substance in the environment.
34. Step 2.
Propose Standard of Compliance & Verification
S2.1 The Builder shall propose (see 2.7) a Standard of Compliance &
Verification, and post this online for comments for 2 weeks. At the end
of 2 weeks, the Builder shall respond online to all the comments, and
after allowing 1 week for further comments, the Builder shall
incorporate all valid considerations, and then post a “Registered
Standard of Compliance & Verification” online. The Builder will receive
automatic email reminders to complete this process. [By building in a fax=email
interface, Builders will be given the option of using fax instead of onlineentries/emails for all communications.]
S2.2 Standard of Compliance shall be: a). total non-disputable compliance, or
b). a level of compliance that is undisputedly exhaustive and thorough,
and effectively meeting the intent of the Pick with no compromise.
S2.3 Practicality is of utmost importance in selecting the appropriate Picks
for a project. Practicality is largely provided for in the R-2000 Pick List
through the abundance of choice. A Pick which is currently impractical in a
community is meant to remain as an opportunity reserved for the next
innovative builder, designer and/or supplier. Practicality is not a valid
justification to compromise the intent of any of the Picks in the R-2000 Pick List.
35. “Under the hood” :
S2.4 Possible paths of verification will include at least one item from each of the
following 2 parts :
a) Collecting evidence : chain of custody, process documentation, measurement, testing, inspection
and/or certification; and
b). Review & acceptance of evidence: inspection, certification and/or through recorded presentation
with Builder answering questions at a public forum or public webinar. [Delivery Agent, or equivalent, to
organize monthly or bimonthly public forums?]
S2.5 The latest time to register a Pick, following Step 2.1, is different for different
Picks. See Notations ~D~, ~ B~, ~R~ & ~F~ below. The Builder is advised to commence
much earlier than these latest time to ensure that there is proper planning, and that
there is enough documentation recorded online to enable verifications to be conducted
in the simplest and most cost efficient manner.
S2.6 Allow (screened?) subscription to email notification of new proposals?
S2.7 A registry of previously registered standard of compliance & verification will be
available online for reference. Some “default” options and commentary will be
available to assist builders in getting the process started. NRCan/R-2000 can change the
default or add new commentary at any time.
S2.8 NRCan/R-2000 can reserve the right to de-register any proposed standard of
compliance & verification.
S2.9 It is expected that builders will share their thoughts and experience in standards
of compliance and verification using some established on-line forum for green building,
or a designated R-2000 forum similar to that for HOT-2000.
36. Notations :
~D~
Start Step 2.1 at least “8” weeks before Finalizing Design. (See also 2.5)
~B~
Start Step 2.1 at least “6” weeks before Construction Begin On-Site.
~R~
Start Step 2.1 at least “8” weeks before Rough-in Completion.
~F~
Start Step 2.1 at least “6” weeks before Final Completion Inspection.
~[S]
“Situational” pick. See 1.5.
~[U]
Requires Written Undertaking for Post-Occupancy Data Collection,
Documentation and Sharing of Information . See 3.5.
~[W]
Requires Written Evidence.
37. Step 3. Record Process, Progress & Verification using Online Journal
S3.1 The R-2000 Builder shall provide a weekly or biweekly journal entry
that documents the implementation progress and process. The entry
may include text description, scanned contracts / receipts /
document / correspondence, photographs, embedded video etc. The
journal entry, once saved or sent, is not editable. [By building in a
fax=email interface, Builders will be given the option of using fax
instead of online-entries/emails for all communications, including
journaling.]
S3.2 One journal can be used to report on each Pick or on all the Picks
registered for a project.
S3.3 When the Pick is considered complied with and verified or verifiable,
the Builder shall submit a journal entry to record that together with
pertinent information.
S3.4 R-2000 Completion Inspection shall only take place after the Builder
has declared online that all the Picks are complied with and verified or
verifiable.
38. “Under the hood” :
S3.5 When a Pick (denoted ~[U] below) calls for post-occupancy data collection
and documentation, the necessary data collection devices must be available on
site, and a written undertaking and/or terms of sales agreement with the
homeowners and occupants must be in place. See also 2.3 regarding practicality.
In all cases, the Builder is only responsible for what is being delivered at the time
of occupancy, and putting in place the data collection and documentation
sharing process. A draft document will be made available for the Builder to use
as reference or template.
S3.6 This journal is not editable, and is only accessible by NRCan and the R-2000
Builder. The R-2000 Builder can grant access to view this information to a third
party e.g. an R-2000 Professional/Inspector, or a future homebuyer, or the
general public.
S3.7 The entry can be made as simple as sending an email (with attachment)
from a Builder designated email address, or by responding to automatic email
reminders. A missed return will be considered a null entry for that period.
S3.8 NRCan/R-2000 reserves the right to remove or permanently hide any
irrelevant journal entry (e.g. advertisement rather than information)
