Building Better Buildings Seminar: Energy Step Code
In-class Presentation | taught by Province of BC, City of New Westminster, E3 Eco Group, RDH Building Science, and more
The Energy Step Code WILL Effect You
Under The Climate Leadership Plan, the Province is implementing policies to meet the 2032 target for all new buildings to be net-zero energy, one of which is the development of the Energy Step Code. Effective December 15, 2017 (as per Section 5 of the Building Act), the Step Code provides municipalities with a consistent provincial standard for energy efficiency, replacing the wide range of existing policies developed by local governments.
What You Will Learn During this Seminar
This seminar brings together a panel of industry leaders from the Province and high-performance building experts who will take a deeper look at the Energy Step Code -- its process and five levels, current research projects underway, including analyzing the potential costs of building to these new levels, anticipated municipal response, and the key technical and performance-based requirements to build homes to higher energy standards.
