CHBA BC
The BC Energy Step Code is performance-based code, where compliance is based on a set of technical metrics that builders must follow for each project.
Following the release of the first Energy Step Code metrics update, effective Dec. 10, 2018, CHBA BC received member feedback that some projects that previously met Step Code levels were no longer able to comply with the same step under the revised metrics.
After engaging in months of consultation and CHBA BC conducting its own third-party validation, Revision 2 of the BC Building Code 2018 has been approved and takes effect December 12, 2019.
You can find the full news release here.

British Columbians can buy and sell their homes with renewed confidence and protection as the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) takes its first steps toward becoming the single regulator for real estate. “Buying a home is one of the most significant purchases people make in their lifetime, and by working together, the BC Financial Services Authority, Office of the Superintendent of Real Estate and the Real Estate Council of BC can combine their expertise to better protect consumers,” said Carole James, Minister of Finance.
