Tom has a passion for sustainable, energy efficient buildings and fully supports the introduction of the BC Energy Step Code into the BC Building Code.  The Step Code provides a pathway for all local municipalities to incrementally increase the energy performance of all their new buildings at their own pace. By the year 2030 all new buildings would be approved at Step Code Level 5, and capable of achieving a Net Zero energy use.  A Net Zero building uses such a small amount of energy for its heating and equipment that a very small amount of renewable energy produced by solar panels would see the building actually produce more energy than it uses.

Tom Dishlevoy, an accredited Passive House designer is located in Comox, on Vancouver Island, would love to talk to you about any aspect of a passive house design for new homes or buildings.
