- The CleanBC Government Buildings Program targets about 1,000 government buildings, which account for about 8% of total provincial public-sector emissions.
- By 2021, all new government facilities will include electric vehicle charging stations. For existing buildings, charging stations will be installed where there is demand.
- Energy retrofits generally result in a minimum of 25% energy savings. Major energy retrofits, which also include building envelope improvements, could deliver savings of
more than 40%.
- By 2032, all new buildings in B.C. will be net-zero energy ready. By 2050, the goal is to reduce emissions in core provincial buildings by 80% when compared to 2010 levels.
- CleanBC Efficiency Rebates are available for people and businesses to improve their homes and buildings by installing new heating and cooling systems, upgrade major appliances, improve insulation and complete BC Hydro energy-saving evaluations.
