Energy Performance of Housing

The Province is considering increased energy performance requirements for both Part 3 complex buildings (including large residential, industrial, commercial and institutional) and Part 9 Housing and other smaller buildings. 

A question related to Part 9 energy efficiency has been included in our current public review to obtain feedback, which will help guide the decisions on how and when to proceed.
