BC Energy Step
Code
The BC Energy Step Code is currently a provincial
standard that provides an incremental and consistent
approach to achieving more energy-ef昀椀cient buildings
that go beyond the requirements of the base BC Building
Code. It does so by establishing a series of measurable,
performance-based energy-ef昀椀ciency requirements for
construction that builders can choose to build to, and
communities may voluntarily choose to adopt in bylaws
and policies.

Lifecycle
Infrastructure Cost
(CLIC)
The community lifecycle infrastructure costing tool (CLIC
Tool) can help local governments better understand
the long-term cost implications of land use decisions.
The tool integrates infrastructure lifecycle costs
(development, maintenance, servicing and replacement)
into land use planning and development scenarios.
Speci昀椀c applications of the tool have modelled how
compact development is more cost-effective over time
than lower density development.
