Net-Zero Energy Modelling
The BC Energy Step Code sets performance requirements for new construction and groups them into “steps.”
To comply with the BC Energy Step Code, builders must use energy software modelling and on-site testing to demonstrate that both their design and the constructed building meet the requirements of the standard. They may use any materials or construction methods to do so.
All Season Inspection offer building performance simulation and optimization services to ensure your building will function at maximum efficiency, reducing operating costs and contributing to environmental sustainability. We keep up to date on the ever-changing energy mandates set forth by provincial and municipal governments, while utilizing cloud-computing simulation tools and our extensive experience to help ensure success for our clients’ projects.
- The Benefits of Net-Zero Energy Modelling
- Health and Comfort
Studies have shown that high-performance homes are more comfortable and healthier, because they effectively manage temperature and fresh air throughout the building.
- Climate Leadership
The BC Energy Step Code puts British Columbia on a path to meet the province’s target that all new buildings must be “net-zero energy ready” by 2032.
- Jobs and Economy
The BC Energy Step Code could open up new opportunities for B.C. in the growing global market for energy efficiency education, technology, and services.
- Less Energy, Lower Bills
The BC Energy Step Code improves energy efficiency and lowers energy bills compared to homes and buildings with similar systems designed under the BC Building Code.
What items are considered in energy modeling?
- Detailed Geometry, Location and Orientation
- Operational Profiles
