BC Energy Step Code Reports for Part 9 Builders
Pre-construction modelling and reporting, mid-construction blower door testing, and final as-built blower door testing and reporting.
During Pre-Construction Energy Modelling and Reporting, I build the HOT2000 model and prepare the Pre-Construction BC Energy Compliance Report for the permit application. A CSA F280 block-load heat-loss and heat-gain calculation is included at no additional charge.
During Mid Construction Blower Door Testing, I help the site team find and seal leaks while they are accessible. The interim result shows whether the project is on track for the final target, and you receive a leakage list and Mid-Construction Verification Report.
During Final As-Built Blower Door Testing and Reporting, I test the completed home and prepare the as-built report and occupancy package. Use the drawing checklist, pre-drywall checklist, and occupancy checklist at each stage.
For Penticton permit requirements, use the Penticton Step Code guide. The Zero Carbon Step Code guide explains the emissions requirements that can apply alongside the Energy Step Code.

What builders ask before booking.
What Step Code work is needed for the building permit?
The HOT2000 model and pre-construction BC Energy Compliance Report use the same drawings submitted to the building department and form part of the permit package.
What is the difference between pre-construction and as-built reporting?
The pre-construction report documents the proposed design. The as-built report uses the final airtightness result and confirmed construction information.
Is HOT2000 modelling part of the report work?
Yes. I use the HOT2000 results in the pre-construction and as-built compliance reports.
Is the CSA F280 block load included?
Yes. A CSA F280 block-load heat-loss and heat-gain calculation is included at no additional charge with every pre-construction compliance package.

Send the drawing set or a share link. Include the address, municipality, current stage, and target dates. I’ll confirm any missing inputs and quote the project by stage.
