More ambitious building codes and energy-efficiency retrofits have the potential to create hundreds of thousands of sustainable jobs, improve energy affordability for all Canadians, and better equip our communities to withstand the effects of climate change.
Today, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson announced $2.4 million in funding through the Codes Acceleration Fund for the Government of Prince Edward Island to adopt higher performance tiers of the 2020 national model energy codes of Canada. This funding will provide building officials and building industry professionals with the tools and training required to ensure compliance with provincial building codes as the province adopts increasingly energy-efficient performance tiers.
The federal government is committed to supporting the adoption of more ambitious building codes to meet Canada's goal of a net-zero emissions and climate-resilient buildings sector by 2050.
