Home Performance
Home performance is determined by the energy efficiency, comfort, health, safety, and durability of a home. Retrofitting with a whole-home, or house-as-a-system approach, is key to improving home performance.
This includes addressing the building envelope, mechanical systems, occupant behaviour, and environmental conditions to make the home as safe, comfortable, efficient, and durable as possible.
Building the HPSC
In 2013, BC Hydro, FortisBC, and the BC Provincial Government began researching and consulting with industry stakeholders to support the development of a sustainable home energy performance sector in British Columbia. This work highlighted the need for an organized body to represent the province’s home performance industry. By 2015, this led to the formation of the HPSC (Home Performance Stakeholder Council).
Since then, the HPSC has brought together Sector Councils and an Industry Advisory Committee made up of contractors and industry leaders. Their real-world experience helps shape the direction of the organization and ensures its work reflects the needs of the industry.
The HPSC continues to collaborate closely with these groups to ensure its initiatives remain grounded in industry needs.
Strategy & Growth
As the industry evolves, so does the HPSC. Our strategic plans are reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure alignment with current priorities, emerging trends, and the needs of our community, with the latest version available on the Strategy Page.
In addition to this forward-looking approach, the HPSC undertakes an annual review of its initiatives and outcomes to reflect on progress and identify areas for growth. This work is captured in our Year in Review infographic, which highlights key achievements, milestones, and insights from the past year, providing a clear and engaging snapshot of our impact.
