Mitigation Brief Description BC Green Building Code Brief Description BC Technology and Retrofit Incentive Programs Brief Description BC Climate Action Charter Brief Description Implementer Implemented Reduce GHG emissions in the buildings sector Type of instrument Sectors targeted GHGs targeted Objective or activity targeted A number of energy efficiency measures have been presented under the green infrastructure program of the Investing in Canada&quot;. These measures include: developing model net-zero energy-ready building codes; developing a new model retrofit code that sets energy performance standards for building retrofits by 2022; a nationally harmonized approach to energy labeling and disclosure in commercial, institutional and residential buildings, starting in 2019, through the expansion of Natural Resources Canada&#39;s labeling and testing measures; lowering the cost of Net Zero Energy Ready code construction and retrofit practices and technologies as well as promoting the adoption of these practices and technologies by industry, provinces and territories by the through research, development and demonstration. British Columbia Reducing GHG Emissions in the Buildings and Transportation Sectors Status of Implementation Other actions implemented in 2016 include: Facilitating and promoting the construction and retrofit of low-rise, energy-efficient residential buildings by through the EnerGuide Rating System and R-2000 and ENERGY STAR for New Homes initiatives; implement ENERGY STAR certification for commercial and institutional buildings to recognize buildings in Canada that exhibit the best energy performance; expand energy analysis for commercial and institutional buildings through the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager; support a new national high-performance building challenge to move Canada&#39;s buildings sector closer to net-zero energy consumption. Buildings CO Regulations Improve the energy efficiency of new homes and buildings Start of implementation British Columbia British Columbia Estimated mitigation impact in 2020 (kt CO eq) Implemented 2008 Implemented Since 2008, British Columbia is working to improve energy efficiency in the building sector, including large residential, industrial and commercial buildings, homes and small buildings, and public sector buildings. Among other things, the province has established a gold rating for LEED certification and conducted research on low-emitting building materials. In 2017, British Columbia introduced the Step Code: Increased Energy Efficiency Requirements in the BC Building Code, the Energy Step Code: Energy Efficiency energy efficiency) and a Net-Zero Energy Ready (NZER) Building Design Incentive.
