UDI Lower Mainland statement on the Energy and Zero Carbon Step Codes.

To stabilize project economics and protect the full housing continuum, UDI recommends that the Province: 

• Maintain Part 3 buildings at Step 2 and Part 9 buildings at Step 3 under the Energy Step Code. 

• Limit the Zero Carbon Step Code to EL-2. 

• Restrict municipalities from imposing requirements beyond the BC Building Code.
