The BC Energy Step Code is a compliance path (optional) in the BC Building Code that The City of Kamloops and many other municipalities are implementing to require a level of energy efficiency in new construction that is at a higher level than that required by the BC Building Code. This compliance requirement increases a market for a career in energy modelling, which is a plan and inspection process to ensure buildings are being built to the high standards laid out in the Energy Step Code. The goal over a number of years is to require Net Zero Energy buildings to be the only ones built. This is a huge and multi-layered step forward toward environmental sustainability. Buildings can be built to significantly reduce their carbon footprint, compared to decades past.
