High Performance Builder Training
Description The High Performance Builder Training program will open the door for building professionals across the province to access information and training in the five tiers of the Energy Step Code. This includes the pathway from the current BC Building Code requirements to net zero energy ready requirements for Part 9 residential buildings. The training program will also contribute to CleanBC energy and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction commitments. By producing and sharing training videos and case studies, this program will make high performance build- ing education more accessible to B.C. building professionals. Impact This project will positively impact the energy and GHG reduction commitments as articulated in CleanBC and the Province’s Clean Energy Act by improving access to the information and training required by B.C.’s construction professionals to design and construct high performance, energy efficient buildings.
