A lack of local Energy Advisors (EAs) is one of the main barriers to adopting the Energy Step Code in smaller and remote communities in BC. This project explores and analyzes local EA capacity, context, and gaps in rural and northern communities in BC. Recommendations include strengthening outreach activities, designing targeted incentive programs, and facilitating and subsidizing EA training for building officials and others in the building industry.
