What is the BC Energy Step Code, and can your products help meet its requirements?

The BC Energy Step Code is a provincial standard that aims to make all new buildings “net-zero energy ready” by 2032. It introduces a series of incremental “steps” – each step being a higher level of energy efficiency – that local jurisdictions in British Columbia can mandate for new construction. In many ways, the Step Code aligns with Passive House principles, focusing on improvements to insulation, windows, and overall building performance. The province has committed to increasing energy efficiency requirements through the Step Code, encouraging builders to significantly reduce their energy use. Windows and doors are a crucial part of meeting these targets, since they heavily influence heat loss and gain. Eagle View Glass provides products that meet and often exceed the Step Code’s window performance requirements. Our high-performance triple-glazed units, featuring thermal break frames, for example, can achieve the low U-values required for upper Step Code levels. By installing our energy-efficient glazing, homeowners and builders can more easily comply with current and future Step Code standards. In short, yes – our products will absolutely help your project meet BC Energy Step Code requirements for windows , ensuring your new build is on track with BC’s energy goals.

How do high-performance windows improve a home’s energy efficiency and comfort?

Upgrading to high-performance windows yields significant benefits for both energy savings and indoor comfort. Modern engineered window systems feature advanced insulation and sealing that reduce heat transfer far better than older windows. For instance, our premium aluminum frames feature thermal breaks to prevent conductive heat loss, and our multi-pane Low-E glass units significantly reduce radiant and convective heat flow. The result is a more stable indoor temperature – your home stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer with less reliance on heating or cooling systems. According to industry experts, top-quality glazing systems “exhibit outstanding thermal insulation, air and water impermeability, and noise reduction capabilities, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment across various climates while minimizing energy expenses”. In addition to lower energy bills, you’ll notice less draftiness and fewer cold spots near windows, as well as improved soundproofing from outside noise. High-performance windows also often have coatings that block UV rays, protecting your furniture and finishes from sun damage. Overall, investing in energy-efficient windows creates a healthier and more comfortable living space, while also increasing your home’s value through improved performance.
