Established in 2023, The Climate Friendly Homes Tour opened the doors of 35 homes in 9 communities across BC.
In 2025, the tour is looking to expand into more communities across the province to allow people to learn about the measures they can take to make their homes more comfortable and climate-friendly.
A climate-friendly home is more energy-efficient, healthy, and comfortable thanks to features such as an airtight building envelope, high levels of insulation, and a heat pump that cools in the summer and warms in the winter while circulating clean air.
If you would like your community to be involved in this year's tour, the local government office will need to register interest. From there, we can get to work on onboarding the local community, and homeowners will have the opportunity to discuss the benefits of a climate-friendly home.
Some of the benefits of participating for your community include:
• Raising awareness of the opportunity to build more comfortable, energy efficient homes;
• Increased dialogue within building community;
• Building Local Government’s reputation as proactive and addressing climate emergency;
• Raising awareness of local construction policies;
• Building and engaged community; and
• Signposting people to funding opportunities to help them improve their home while reducing energy use.
