Step Code Tip: working with an Energy Advisor Part II.

Last week we covered a few key benefits of working with an Energy Advisor. An Advisor also completes Energy Modelling that provides opportunities for a builder to select upgrades based on their budgets and the preferences of their clients, and is essential in Step Code Verification to confirm that the home meets the minimum requirements of the BC Building Code or any Step of the Energy Step Code.
