3.1. Political Landscape

Canada's Buildings Strategy has the following goals:

• Federal, provincial, and territorial governments will work to develop a model code for existing
buildings by 2022, with the goal that provinces and territories adopt the code.

• Federal, provincial, and territorial governments will work together with the aim of requiring the
labelling of building energy use by 2019.

The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources has been given the mandate to make substantial progress on the following priority:

• Create a Roadmap for the future of BC energy that will drive innovation, expand energy
efficiency and conservation programs, generate new energy responsibly and sustainably, and
create good, lasting jobs across the province.
