The purpose of this Toolkit is to provide local governments with recommended policies, guidelines and bylaws in order to support the transition to low carbon buildings in their communities as soon as possible. The intent is for this Toolkit to be of relevance and value to local governments of all sizes across BC. It is also designed to be of utility for those local governments which are interested in taking climate action, but that do not have the time or resources to identify areas where their policies may need revisions, or where new policies can be made. The goal is to reduce redundancy and increase adoption of low carbon building policy across BC.
