  2. The teps: Part 3 Wood Buildings

  3. The Provincial Context Federal Policy Context • August 2017 • “Federal, provincial, and territorial governments will work to develop and adopt increasingly stringent model building codes, starting in 2020, with the goal that [all] adopt a net-zero energy-ready model building code by 2030.”

  4. The Provincial Context Provincial Policy Context • December 2018

  5. The Provincial Context The Provincial Context Roadmap to Net-Zero Energy-Ready Buildings

  6. Energy Step Code Council Industry Utilities Government Academia & NGO

  7. The Steps: Part 3 Concrete Buildings

  8. The Provincial Context

  9. What does the Energy Step Code Measure Energy Step Code – Overview • ‘Energy Efficiency’ in the Energy Step Code: • Envelope Efficiency • Equipment Efficiency • Performance based

  10. Metrics - Envelope Efficiency Energy Step Code – Overview • Losses • Air tightness • Insulation • Gains • Solar gain • People & equipment • Units of heat energy required for constant temperature after losses and gains (ignores equipment efficiency).

  11. Metrics - Equipment Efficiency Energy Step Code – Overview • Energy Use • Heat • Water heating • Ventilation • Lights and plug loads (large buildings only) Energy Use

  12. Performance Compliance Energy Modeling by Natural Resources Canada Certified Energy Advisor • Air-Tightness Testing • Achieve minimum performance levels No Prescriptive Energy Requirements

  13. Local Government Awareness Growing • Local governments with “moderate,” “good,” or “excellent” knowledge of the BC Energy Step Code, 2017-2018.

  14. Local Government Adoption

  15. Adoption and Training Local governmentAdoption Education and training

  16. Industry Capacity Building Workshops • Building Smart • BC Housing series has trained 1,617 builders, engineers, architects, others. • LEEP Sessions • Builder engagement workshops. • Two sessions in three regions.

  17. Awareness Increasing Source: BC Housing

  18. An Economic Development Driver

  19. Implementation – Contiguous Local Governments All high-rise residential now Step 2, Part 3 community-wide

  20. Implementation – Accelerating Climate Objectives Incentivizing low carbon energy systems in MURBS.

  21. Resources 1/2: BC Energy Step Code Design Guide

  22. Guide to Low Thermal Energy Demand for Large Buildings

  23. Communications • “One-Stop-Shop” website (energystepcode.ca) • Guides, handbooks, videos for local governments and industry. • Metrics Research Report • Search for energy advisors, incentives. • Ongoing Updates • Monthly opt-in newsletter. • https://mailchi.mp/energystepcode/subscribe • Social media updates on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn.
