3.4. Summary of Utility and Government Sector Issues

The following three issues were identified, by the Utility and Government Sector Council, as priorities in working towards the vision of a home performance industry in BC:

• Capacity Building: Availability of Trained Trades, Workforce Development, and Professionalism

• Market Growth: Consumer Demand and Quality Awareness

• Advocacy: Industry Collaboration on Program & Policy Design

While the recommended actions in this Roadmap are specific to the Utility and Government Sector being discussed, each of the other Sector Councils identified their priority issues. The HPSC recognizes the many synergies between the sectors' issues, as shown in Table 2 below.
