Home Efficiency

Home efficiency modeling is now a requirement under the BC building code. All proposed home designs must be reviewed by a Licensed Energy Advisor to determine that the appropriate insulation values, window and heating/ventilation efficiency targets are achieved. As home building in BC moves forward, further more stringent measures will be implemented. This is known as the Step Code. Step 3 is now required for residential buildings through out most of BC.

Through an iterative process we incorporate the Energy Advisor’s specifications into our design. The methods and materials that form our approach to construction ensures that your new space will be energy efficient and comfortable well into the future.
