New Home – BC Step Code
British Columbia introduced the BC Energy Efficient Home Step Code in 2017 to transition all new buildings to Net Zero Energy by 2032. Unlike previous prescriptive Codes, the new BC Step Code is performance based requiring measurement of air-tightness by a Zero Energy Advisor™ in Step 1.
- Our Basic New Home Construction Service works with the Builder or Designer to model the expected energy performance based on the plans in preparation for a Building Permit.
- An optional Construction Upgrade Service consults with the Builder to compare the Code Standard Home to modeled performance improvements.
- The Construction Blower Door Service helps the Builder find and fix air leaks in the envelope before the gyproc is installed to improve the air tightness rating.
