B.C. is moving toward net-zero buildings by 2032 and Step Code is a big part of this paradigm shift. Life Cycle Management Lab Professors of UBC wanted to introduce their students to Step code, so on Friday, October 25^th our Principal Navid traveled to Kelowna to give a day-long workshop to a group of 20 engineering grad students and postdocs. He covered Step Code basics and requirements, design strategies, and facilitated an energy modeling group exercise. The students had a lot of passion for high performance buildings and were keen to learn about why the province is implementing an Envelope-First approach with Step Code.
