BC Energy Step Code

The Township of Langley has adopted the BC Energy Step Code, a provincial standard that provides an incremental and consistent approach to achieving more energy-efficient buildings that go beyond the requirements of the base BC Building Code. Effective January 1, 2019, compliance with the BC Energy Step Code is required for all new building permit applications for residential buildings.
