Date: November 2, 2022
Time: 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM PDT
Registration: Sorry, public registration for this event has been closed.
Event Description:


On September 26th, the Province launched a public review of two significant changes to the Energy Step Code (ESC), that could have impacts on your future building projects. The Government is establishing province-wide energy performance standards and allowing local governments to mandate GHG emission targets for new buildings. 

As a result of these changes, some local governments that have implemented the ESC, have already indicated that they will be increasing their required steps and introducing new GHG reduction targets for new building in 2023.  

The Province itself is planning to mandate that new buildings be net-zero energy ready by 2032 and have zero carbon emissions by 2030. 

With opening remarks with
Bertine Stelzer of BC Hydro and expertly moderated by Dave Ramslie of OPEN Technologies, we will hear from Zachary D. May, MBA, Executive Director of the Building and Safety Standards Branch and Ministry of Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Housing and Scott B. Williams, Senior Codes Engineer of the Building and Safety Standards Branch (BSSB) review some of these proposals and how this could impact your projects.  
Areas of discussion will include:
- Overview of what all these changes would mean for Part 3 and Part 9 builds
- RNG - clarification on what you can and cannot do
- GHG and GHGI
