For energy efficiency to be valued, it must first be measured in a way that allows comparison. Home energy labelling makes energy performance ‘visible’ to consumers through validated and easy-to-understand energy labels. Once widely adopted, labelling allows energy efficiency to be considered in real estate decisions and improves the business case for energy efficiency investments. This strategic plan focuses on accelerating the uptake of EnerGuide labelling in British Columbia.
