Canada Day may have passed, but we’re still celebrating the people who make Canadian homes stronger, smarter, and more energy-efficient — from the first drawing to the final inspection.
At Green Think Inc., we work with both architects and builders to make BC Step Code compliance and EnerGuide certification seamless. The result? Smoother projects, faster permits, and homes that deliver real value to homeowners.
Here’s how the process flows — and how GTi supports you at every step.
Architects: Design for EnerGuide Standards
Your designs set the tone for energy performance. When you involve us early, we help ensure your plans align with EnerGuide requirements and BC Step Code targets — without compromising your creative vision.
With Green Think Inc., you get:
HOT2000 energy models based directly on your blueprints
Guidance on how to hit Step Code 4 or 5, if required or incentivized
Support for municipal documentation and compliance
A friendly team that communicates clearly and keeps your projects moving
Designing to EnerGuide standards doesn’t have to be complicated — especially when the modeling is handled by people who speak your language.
Builders: Fewer Delays, More Rebates
Once your architect’s plans are finalized, GTi makes sure your build is on track to meet energy targets — without costly surprises during inspections.
We provide:
EnerGuide energy evaluations using HOT2000 software
Blower door testing and detailed reports from certified energy advisors
Support through municipal permitting and energy code documentation
For Step Code 4 & 5 homes in BC, we assist with FortisBC rebate applications
We know builders have enough on their plates. That’s why our process is fast, accurate, and always professional — so you can stay focused on building.
Homeowners: More Comfort, Less Cost
EnerGuide-certified homes aren’t just better for the environment — they’re better to live in.
Here’s what today’s buyers get with an EnerGuide-rated home:
Clear, transparent info on energy use and costs
A home built to modern Canadian standards for comfort and performance
Eligibility for rebates like the CMHC Green Home Partial Premium Refund, which can refund up to 25% of mortgage insurance premiums
Long-term savings on utility bills
