BC Energy Step Code Solutions

ZS2's MgO panels provide innovative solutions for meeting and exceeding BC Energy Step Code requirements.

Meeting Higher Standards with MgO

The BC Energy Step Code is a provincial standard that establishes progressive performance targets aimed at creating more energy-efficient buildings. ZS2 magnesium oxide (MgO) panels are specifically designed to help builders achieve these targets with greater efficiency, durability, and sustainability.

The innovative MgO technology provides superior thermal performance, airtight construction capabilities, and sustainable materials that align perfectly with the Step Code's increasing energy efficiency requirements.

Supporting Every Step of the Code

See how ZS2's MgO panels help builders achieve compliance at each level of the BC Energy Step Code, from basic efficiency improvements to net-zero ready construction.

Step 1 & Step 2

10-20% More Efficient than Code
Baseline Energy Efficiency
Improved Insulation: MgO panels provide a high thermal resistance (R-value), reducing heat loss compared to standard materials
Airtight Construction: Panels create a more sealed envelope, helping reduce drafts and improving energy efficiency

Step 3

20%+ Efficiency
Common Requirement in BC Municipalities
Fireproof, Mold-Resistant, and Waterproof: Unlike traditional materials, MgO panels improve building longevity and indoor air quality
Faster Construction Time: Prefabricated panels mean tighter building envelopes with fewer air leaks

Step 4

40%+ Efficiency
Near Net-Zero Ready
Thermal Mass Benefits: MgO panels help stabilize indoor temperatures, reducing heating/cooling needs
Lower Energy Demand: When combined with high-performance windows and HVAC systems, MgO panels significantly improve a building's energy performance

Step 5

80%+ Efficiency
Net-Zero Ready by 2032
Highly Airtight & Insulated Building Envelope: Essential for reaching net-zero-ready standards, MgO panels contribute to an ultra-efficient structure
Sustainable & Recyclable: Supports BC's sustainability goals by reducing reliance on energy-intensive materials like concrete and drywall
Structural Strength: Panels provide hurricane-proof and fire-resistant protection, ensuring long-term resilience
