INDUSTRY NEWS

$3,500 funding available for Mechanical System Design

As part of the LEEP (NRCan’s Local Energy Efficiency Partnerships) program in B.C., a series of training events were held in 2018, administered by local Canadian Home Builders Associations (CHBAs) and supported by the Province, BC Housing, FortisBC and BC Hydro. Builders who attended these sessions were primed to build future projects to Net Zero Energy Ready Performance levels.

BC Hydro is offering funding to support builders obtain high performance mechanical systems in their resulting field trial homes that are built to Net Zero Energy Ready Performance levels.

The goal is to partner with builders to build industry capacity to ensure mechanical systems in residential homes are properly designed, installed, and upon completion verified to meet the original design intent.
