This is true. "Experience in Manitoba is that an R-2000 Home usually costs about three to six per cent more to build than conventional practice. For example, a home that cost $140,000 to build (excluding the lot) would likely cost an extra $4,200 to $8,400 to meet the R-2000 requirements." (http://www.r2000manitoba.com/faqs.shtml#how)

Even based on the claimed 25% saving on energy costs, say 25% of $3000/yr, it's going to take many years to recover the cost of building an R-2000 home. It is also said that R-2000 homes yield higher resale value, but probably not higher than the cost of building such home.

A friend of mine bought a Minto House 3,4 yeas ago, upgrade to R2000 cost extra $14,000 I believe.
 
14000? :eek:
Strangely this program is launched and sponsored by the federal government, but the benefits listed sound more like a sales pitch to me.
