1.1 Background

Home performance is a holistic approach to identifying and addressing energy efficiency, comfort, health, and safety related issues to make a home perform better.

It is estimated that nearly 500,000 single detached houses in BC may benefit from home performance upgrades. Row houses and townhouses present an additional opportunity. Whole home performance renovations in BC could represent a four-billion-dollar industry over the next 10 years.

The Home Performance Stakeholder Council (HPSC) is composed of key industry players tasked with amalgamating and addressing the fragmented interests, opportunities, and challenges that exist in the home performance industry, which is evolving and growing. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of BC Hydro, FortisBC, and the Province of British Columbia.
