CPD Opportunity – Effective Step Code Practices for Quality, Comfort, and Resilience

This webinar will be led by energy step code and sustainability leaders. Together, they’ll walk you through BC Housing’s latest publication and offer practical guidance and best practices. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of Step Code compliance and high-performance housing in the province.

Key learning outcomes from the webinar include:

  • Describe the purpose, structure, and application of the BC Housing Builder’s Visual Guide to BC Energy and Zero Carbon Step Codes for supporting Step Code outcomes in British Columbia.
  • Identify the most common failure points at upper Step Code levels. These include weak early design integration, incomplete airtightness strategy, and gaps between modelled and as-built performance.
  • Assess how building form, enclosure performance, and mechanical system choices affect measured energy and carbon outcomes.
  • Outline an integrated design and delivery approach that supports Step Code compliance through coordinated modelling, detailing,
    commissioning, and quality assurance.
  • Include climate resilience measures and communicate key performance features clearly to homeowners to support long-term use and maintenance.
