BC Energy Step Code ACP

The BC Energy Step Code ACP provides a recognition path for projects going beyond code, enabling them to earn LEED points for energy performance by simply demonstrating compliance with Step 2 or higher of the BC Energy Step Code.

The ACP is available to Part 3 buildings in British Columbia pursuing LEED v4 or LEED v4.1 under BD+C or Multifamily Midrise, in jurisdictions where the BC Energy Step Code has been referenced and its provisions are being enforced.
