The Energy Step Code takes building to the next level this year, with Step 3 becoming the minimum level of building across B.C. Although many municipalities are advancing up the Steps faster than originally mapped out, the Step Code is a performance pathway so builders have to find the design and building strategies, trades, and mechanical systems to meet the metrics. Having the right foundation will help builders move ahead to higher Step Code levels.

This seminar will feature three speakers who will provide insight on the Step Code regulations and implementation, best practices, design and building strategies, and tactics to building to Step 3 and higher more effectively:

• Tiffany Warkentin, Director, Strategic Policy (Acting), Building and Safety Standards Branch, Ministry of Attorney General and Ministry Responsible for Housing
• Luke Dolan, CEO, Capital Home Energy
• Bob Deeks, President, RDC Fine Homes

Bob Deeks, one of the leaders in high-performance homebuilding in our region, will also go through a case study on a Step Code home, sharing lessons learned and the strategies he has found to be a successful and cost-effective.
