Module 2 of the BC Step Code Training Course provides an overview of how architectural and mechanical design choices can have a significant impact on certain building performance parameters, which can either help or hinder compliance as well as impact overall cost.

By the end of this module you will be able to:

• Explain to team members and clients the basic considerations for designing and building to the BCESC both for Step 3 and beyond;
• Include considerations for future climate readiness, market expectations, potential cost implications, diverse building types, and future code readiness; and
• Qualitatively assess a building’s likelihood of meeting various performance requirements of the BC Energy Step Code based on its design elements.
