2022 BC Energy Step Code Metrics Report
Abstract
The 2022 BC Energy Step Code Metrics Report Update informed updates to the BC Energy Step Code metrics and development of the Zero Carbon Step Code. The report used archetype energy modelling to evaluate the impact of energy and carbon conservation measures on costs, risk of overheating, energy-use, and greenhouse gas emissions.
The report provides numerous ways to meet each Step in climate zones 4 through 7A, for 12 building archetypes, and for both Part 3 and Part 9 buildings.
