CleanBC home energy retrofit rebates doubled
The provincial government is doubling CleanBC Better Homes retrofit rebates for select home-heating and energy-efficiency upgrades.
“With many people continuing to work from home due to the pandemic, we’re doubling popular CleanBC rebates for select home energy retrofits and upgrades,” said Bruce Ralston, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation this morning. “Together with our partners, we are helping families switch from fossil fuels to clean energy and make their homes as efficient, comfortable and affordable as possible.”
The province’s CleanBC plan aims to reduce the environmental impact of existing buildings and to waste less energy. By using more clean energy and using it more efficiently in homes and buildings, British Columbians can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality.

The RDKB has launched a new website. We’ll continue to make adjustments and changes to the site as we hear from our own staff, the Board, stakeholders and the public about how it is working for everyone over the coming months.
The website address is the same - rdkb.com - but the site is now more secure, responsive to all devices and easier to navigate.

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.”
