Energy requirements for home renovations
The 2019 Vancouver Building By-law (VBBL) requires that you perform energy-efficient
measures as part of your renovation if you are planning to renovate a:
Laneway house or infill
Single detached house
Duplex unit
Any new work and room additions must also comply with the VBBL, including walls, windows, and heating and hot water systems.
Renovating a larger building? Review energy requirements for large and retail and commercial buildings
The upgrades depend on the year of the scope and the cost of the project. Homes completing EnerGuide assessments must submit a renovation energy upgrade proposal form, completed by your energy advisor.
