OHBA ReAdy tO WORk WitH GOveRnmentOn OntARiO’s ClimAte CHAnGe ACtiOn PlAnRecently the provincial government released

Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP).The action plan commits to lowering greenhouse

gas emissions by 15 per cent by 2020, 37 per cent by 2030and 80 per cent by 2050.The CCAP has specific actions that impact new housing

and land-use planning, including:• Home Energy Rating and Disclosure (HERD):

Energy audits would be required before a new orexisting single-family home can be listed for sale, andthe energy rating will be included in the real estatelisting. These audits are intended to be provided freeof charge under this plan.

• A rebate for high-performance: Rebates will goto individuals who purchase or build their ownnear net zero carbon emission homes, with energyefficiency performance that sufficiently exceeds therequirements of the Building Code.

• Funding for new technologies for homes: Assistanceto homeowners to purchase and install low-carbonenergy technologies such as geothermal heat pumpsand air-source heat pumps, solar thermal and solarenergy generation systems.

• Building Code Changes: Update the Building Codewith long-term energy efficiency targets for new netzero carbon emission small buildings by 2030.

• Retrofitting existing private apartments: Incentivesto install energy-efficient technologies, like boilerreplacements, adaptive thermostats and lightingretrofits.

• Electric-Vehicle-Ready Homes: Require all newhomes with garages to be constructed with a 50-amp,240-volt receptacle.

“OHBA has been a long-time supporter of a homeenergy rating system for existing homes as well as aconsumer rebate for newly-constructed homes thatexceed the Ontario Building Code. We are encouragedthat both these recommendations are included inOntario’s Climate Change Action Plan,” said Joe Vaccaro,CEO, Ontario Home Builders’ Association.When the 2017 Building Code comes into effect in

January 2017, houses constructed after that point willconsume only 50 per cent of the energy they would haveused in 2005.The Building Code primarily deals with newconstruction, which comprises only one per cent of theoverall building stock on an annual basis, that’s why itis essential to improve the existing 4.8 million homes inOntario.Achieving a 2030 net zero Building Code will require

extensive consultation with the industry and thenecessary cost-benefit analysis for consumers.“With over 30 per cent of Ontario’s new homes being

Energy Star qualified,OHBAmembers are already leadersin building high-performance homes,” said Vaccaro. “Weneed to ensure that the upgrades we make to the 2030Building Code are worth it to the consumer.”The Ontario Home Builders’ Association is the voice

of the building, land development and professionalrenovation industry in Ontario representing 4,000member companies organized into 30 local associationsacross the province. Our members have built over700,000 homes in the last 10 years in over 500 Ontariocommunities. The industry contributes over $45 billionto Ontario’s economy and employs over 325,000 peopleacross the province.
