Jan 2026 Decarb Lunch : What’s the Data Telling Us? Insights on the Step Codes

Описание: The first ZEBx Decarb Lunch webinar of 2026 will be co-hosted with Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC (CHBA BC). In this one-hour webinar, speakers Pauline Rupp of CHBA BC, Mark Bernhardt of Bernhardt Contracting and Henri Belisle of TQ Construction will draw on the latest CHBA BC data of over 8,500 as-built Hot2000 energy models to examine real-world building industry results and practical approaches to reducing carbon emissions in Part 9 residential construction.

The discussion will focus on what Step Code data reveals about what is actually happening across the province—how far the industry has come, where meaningful progress is being made, and which approaches are delivering real results. Speakers will also explore opportunities to improve regional coordination and discuss what a reasonable, practical path forward looks like, balancing flexibility with consistency across jurisdictions. Mark and Henri will offer candid perspectives on viable paths forward within current political and economic constraints.

Henri Belisle, President, TQ Construction
Mark Bernhardt, President, Bernhardt Contracting

Pauline Rupp, Director of Technical and Building Innovation, CHBA BC
