Built to certified step 4 of the BC Energy Step Code requires new buildings to be significantly more energy-efficient, typically around 40% more so than the basic BC Building Code. To achieve this, buildings must meet performance targets for three key metrics: the building envelope (insulation, airtightness, and windows), and energy-efficient heating, ventilation, and equipment. Builders achieve Step 4 performance by increasing insulation, implementing smart ventilation (including heat recovery), ensuring a tight building envelope, and selecting efficient HVAC systems, all validated through energy modeling and blower door testing.Meticulously built 2140 sq ft 3 bedroom & 3 bathroom rancher with a bonus room that could easily be a 4th bedroom for guests with an 3 piece ensuite.
