The City of Maple Ridge is looking for input from the local building and development community to inform the pathway moving forward on introducing Zero Carbon Step Code to Maple Ridge. The city held an information forum in the evening of April 10th and information and a survey have been posted on Engage Maple Ridge. The city is looking for responses by April 24th, 2024.   

The city is considering introducing the Zero Carbon Step Code (ZCSC) for Part 3 residential and Part 9 residential buildings to prepare the community for the future of electrification, and to lower carbon emissions in the development and operation of new buildings.   

The proposed timeline is:  

• Strong Carbon Performance (EL-3) by January 1, 2025 
• Zero Carbon Performance (EL-4) by January 1, 2026
