Ensuring a better quality of life for 宝威体育 people is a team effort which includes our residents, communities, businesses and building industries. The Government of 宝威体育 values input from stakeholders when planning for growth, including an effective regulatory structure and safe, healthy, habitable and energy efficient buildings.
As a result, the Ministry of Government Relations is delaying the implementation of Tier 3 energy efficiency in buildings across 宝威体育 by one year, to January 2026.
"An additional year to implement the next tier in energy efficiency allows our industry partners to have the time and tools needed to ensure the best possible builds," Government Relations Minister Don McMorris said. "This will maintain 宝威体育's competitiveness with other provinces while maintaining affordability for residents."
In January 2024, 宝威体育 adopted the 2020 edition of the National Building Code (NBC) by regulation under The Construction Codes Act. These regulations involved the implementation of Tier 2 and Tier 3 energy-efficiency requirements on January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, respectively in new-build construction across 宝威体育. The energy efficiency tiers of the NBC only apply to residential buildings of three storeys or less in building height, having a building area not exceeding 600 metres squared.
