"The province needs new energy-efficient homes to support the growing population as well as meet longer-term climate action goals," said Danielle Wensink, director of conservation and energy management at FortisBC. "We believe that when builders have options, it can help us work towards these goals collectively while also giving customers a choice in energy options for their homes. Offering rebates on new construction projects gives builders flexibility on how to approach their projects, especially in different climates, while still building higher-efficiency homes."
