At the end of another successful year for Capital Home Energy, I would like to thank our clients for their support and continued business.
2023 was a monumental year for our company. With the help of our dedicated team, we took a huge leap forward and achieved a career goal of mine in the Energy Advising industry. Capital Home Energy became a Licensed Service Organization through NRCan (Natural Resources Canada).
Most people outside of our industry think “so what?”, but for an Energy Advising company, it is a big deal…we no longer need to submit EnerGuide files through a third party. We now have direct contact with NRCan to better serve our home owners with rebate challenges or technical glitches. This will mean faster reports, and quicker response time to technical questions and problems. Our clients will directly benefit with an overall improved service experience.
This past year was also another year of firsts for CHBA Net Zero projects we worked on:
It was also fantastic to see the improvement across the board with the builder community we work with.
Each month we showcase the top 4 ACH (air changes per hour) of the month, and each month we saw air tightness results consistently below 1 ACH. This is a testament to how well the builders we work with are performing with regards to air barrier solutions and airtight construction.
2023 was the year for massive change in the Building Code for energy efficiency, across British Columbia. On May 1st the Province once again threw a curve ball to the industry and introduced the Zero Carbon Step Code.
With these big changes, it is extremely challenging for the construction industry to keep up. However, I find it amazing to see how professional and resilient the builders we work with are, when adapting to these fast-moving changes.
