Re: Help Cities Lead – report back to supporting Councils
Dear Mayor and Council,
In 2021 your Council passed a resolution endorsing the Help Cities Lead campaign. Help Cities
Lead is an education and awareness campaign working to build support for more focused
collaboration between the Province of British Columbia and local governments on climate
policy related to buildings. The group is a coalition with Climate Caucus and other
environmental organizations. The Help Cities Lead campaign has received widespread support
from local governments in British Columbia. We appreciate your support and want to provide
an update on the campaign, the work that we have done, and the progress that has been made.
Help Cities Lead believes that allowing for local government leadership is critical to developing
innovative policies and programs to achieve deep emissions reductions from the building sector
throughout the province. We saw that the tools available to local governments to pursue these
critical reduction targets were largely limited to information campaigns and incentives which
were insufficient to achieve broad and deep energy and GHG reductions at scale and in a
timeline that is consistent with many local government’s climate plans. The Help Cities Lead
campaign identified a suite of five measures that would enable local action on reducing GHG
emissions from new and existing buildings:
● RegulaƟng GHG emissions for new buildings
● RegulaƟng GHG emissions for exisƟng buildings
● Home energy labelling
● Building energy benchmarking and reporƟng
● Enabling legislaƟon for a low interest retrofit loan program known as PACE (Property
Assessed Clean Energy)
As we advocated for these policy changes, Help Cities Lead received strong support from local
governments across BC. We received endorsements from 38 local governments from Kitimat to
2
Metro Vancouver. Additionally, our work was supported by UBCM ‐ a resolution of support was
passed in 2021 with the endorsement of the UBCM executive.
To date Help Cities Lead has resolutions of support from the following:
AVICC Bowen Island, Municipality Comox, Town
Comox Valley RD Courtenay, City Cumberland, Village
Fernie, City Gibsons, Town Golden, Town
Highlands, District Kitimat, District Ladysmith, Town
Langley, Township Lions Bay, Village LMLGA
Maple Ridge, City Metro Vancouver Nanaimo, City
New Westminster, City North Cowichan, Municipality North Saanich, District
North Vancouver, City North Vancouver, District Oak Bay, District
Port Moody, City Powell River, City Rossland, City
Saanich, District Sidney, Town Squamish, District
Summerland, District Ucluelet, Resort Municipality UBCM
Vancouver, City Victoria, City West Vancouver, City
Whistler, Resort Municipality
With that support in hand, we requested meetings with the relevant ministers. We had
productive meetings with: then Minister of Municipal Affairs, Josie Osborne (and later with
then Minister of Municipal Affairs, Nathan Cullen); Minister of Environment and Climate
Change Strategy, George Heyman; then Minister of Energy Mines and Low Carbon Innovation,
Bruce Ralston; and then Attorney General and Minister responsible for Housing (now Premier)
David Eby.
In the wake of those meetings, we wanted to provide an update on the status of our policy
requests:
1. Regulating GHG emissions for new buildings
a. New standards take effect May 1, 2023
i. Zero Carbon Step Code: The Zero Carbon Step Code enables local
governments to “opt‐in” to require that new buildings in their community
meet certain emissions requirements by referencing them in their building or
zoning bylaws. The Province recently signed this regulation, which comes
into effect May 1, 2023.
Learn more about how to implement the new Zero Carbon Step Code tool in
your own community here: BC Energy Step Code requirements | Energy Step
Code
3
ii. Two Pathways Approach: In the interim, prior to the Zero Carbon Step Code
becoming available, some local governments have implemented a two
pathways approach where applicants can elect to meet a lower level of the
BC Energy Step Code than is generally required in exchange for installing a
low carbon energy system that meets specific GHG criteria.
2. Regulating GHG emissions for existing buildings
a. BC Existing Buildings Renewal Strategy: Through the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030, the
Province committed to introducing an alterations code for existing buildings by
2024. The Existing Buildings Renewal Strategy will include more details on the
alterations code and develop a path for today’s buildings to become more energy
and water efficient, cleaner, and safer for British Columbians during events like
earthquakes, wildfires and wildfire smoke, heat waves, drought, and floods. Phase 1
of engagement was completed in the fall of 2019 and Phase 2 was completed in the
fall of 2021. It is expected that the alterations code will be focused on prescriptive
efficiency improvements and harmonized with the national model building code.
The draft Strategy is expected to be released later this year.
b. Highest Efficiency Equipment Standards: Through the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030, the
Province committed to introducing standards that will require all new space and
water heating equipment sold and installed in B.C. to be at least 100% efficient after
2030. This will drive the market towards electrification and hybrid systems (e.g. heat
pump with gas backup) and limit the installation of stand‐alone fossil‐fuel fired
furnaces and boilers. A first round of engagement was conducted in fall 2022, and
more details are anticipated in 2023. This policy will have a significant impact on
reducing emissions over the coming decades; however, municipalities are calling on
the Province to accelerate timelines for certain market segments (e.g. part 9 homes
in climate zone 4) or provide authority for municipalities to move ahead of provincial
regulation so that the policy may help achieve 2030 targets.
c. Local Initiatives: Communities in BC have developed their own strategies to address
emissions from existing buildings within their limited authority such as concierge
retrofit programs to support homeowners as they move through the retrofit
progress, and revitalization of tax exemptions for low emission and/or resilient
retrofits. These and other initiatives support the anticipated Existing Buildings
Renewal Strategy and the Highest Efficiency Equipment Standards.

3. Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Financing
a. Provincial Roadmaps: In 2020 the Ministerial Mandate letters for Municipal Affairs
and for Energy, Mines and Low Carbon innovation identified PACE as a priority for
the provincial government. In 2021 the Province developed an internal PACE
Roadmap to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and barriers of the
various considerations for residential and commercial PACE programs specific to the
BC context implementation.
Also in 2021, through the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030, the Province committed to
developing a PACE program stating: “We will proceed with the next steps on a
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program, which is a form of financing for
energy retrofits designed to help building owners save on energy costs and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.”
Notwithstanding this commitment, there has been little movement towards
implementation since the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030.
b. Local Initiatives: Some local governments have begun to move forward with
progressive property assessed financing programs at a small scale, such as the
District of Saanich. Saanich’s pilot offered interest‐free financing to 50 homes
switching from oil to a heat pump, including a stream for income‐qualified initial
results of the program are positive with most participants stating that the financing
program has been integral to overcoming capital cost barriers and/or allowing them
to undertake complementary efficiency upgrades. These types of programs cannot
be scaled up significantly without legislative amendments, and local governments
continue to advocate for the Province to follow through with its commitments on
PACE.
4. Energy Labelling
a. Provincial Response: In its CleanBC Roadmap to 2030, the Province committed to
ensuring that:
“…home sale listings will include an energy efficiency rating or label, letting
buyers know what their energy costs and carbon footprint will be. Along with
raising public awareness, home energy labelling can motivate owners to invest in
retrofits that save energy and cut GHG emissions, knowing it will impact future
salability.
As a first step, we will introduce a user‐friendly, web‐based, virtual home‐energy
rating tool to let people see how efficient their homes are.”
The Province has been working on the virtual home energy rating tool and it is
expected to roll out across the Province in 2024. More information is still to come on
5
the labelling requirements for home sale listings and any integration with Natural
Resource Canada’s EnerGuide Rating System.
b. Local Initiatives: In the interim, some local governments in BC have included energy
labelling as an administrative requirement for new construction at the time of
building occupancy to support the disclosure of energy and emissions information
for homeowners. This is the District of Saanich’s Bylaw requiring energy labeling and
their public facing FAQs
5. Benchmarking
a. Legal Analysis: Help Cities Lead sought a legal analysis performed by Lidstone &
Company on the authority of local governments to implement building energy
benchmark provisions. The analysis found that municipalities in BC do in fact have
authority to implement such requirements. This authority was brought to the
attention of the Minister of Municipal Affairs who verbally confirmed the Ministry’s
interpretation of jurisdiction aligned with the Lidstone analysis.
b. Local Initiatives: Several municipalities and organizations around the province have
joined Building Benchmark BC, Canada’s largest voluntary benchmarking and
disclosure program working to inform and inspire public and private sector
leadership on built‐environment climate change solutions. Some local governments
are beginning to explore the best approach for a harmonized mandatory
benchmarking program.
Help Cities Lead will continue to meet with Ministers and senior staff at the Province to press
for action on these asks, and will report back as we make further progress.
We thank you for your support as we seek more tools for local governments to address the
challenge of building decarbonization. We invite you to share your successes and challenges
with us.
