Subject:Stakeholder Consultation on GHG emission objectives for National Model Codes

The Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes (CBHCC) has agreed that the National Model Codes include an objective for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to enable provincial and territorial regulation, and this objective should be incorporated into the 2025 codes. This objective would include regulation of both operational and embodied carbon with operational being addressed in the 2025 codes and embodied carbon in the 2030 codes.

The CBHCC is seeking input from stakeholders, experts, code users, and the general public on the draft policy recommendations before finalizing the policy framework.

Consultation wave 1 ends on March 30, 2023.
