City of Fernie requires BC Energy Step Code compliance
The City of Fernie will be requiring that all new residential construction projects comply with the BC Energy Step Code, effective January 1, 2021.
According to the BC Energy Step Code Council, “the BC Energy Step Code is an energy-efficiency performance design standard designed to help the province meet its goal that all new British Columbia buildings must be net-zero energy ready by 2032. A net-zero energy ready building is one that has been designed and built to a level of performance such that it could, with the addition of solar panels or other renewable energy technologies, meet its energy needs entirely on-site.”
