I regularly attend Peer Network meetings, I attended a CEM workshop (June 16), and participated in an Ideation project (Charged and Ready)., We developed a reporting and disclosure plan, and implemented this by creating an NCAP progress report, included in the UBC CAP report presented to the UBC Board of Governor June 2025. The NCAP progress report is also posted on the UBC NCAP web page., The Zero Carbon Step (EL-4) of the Zero Carbon Step Code and CEDI target were adopted in REAP 4.0, approved by the UBC Board of Governors in June 2025., We initiated a UBC Sustainability Scholar project to develop a retrofit communication toolkit, and are developing a BC Hydro sponsored neighbourhood level load management study.
In addition, UBC maintains an ongoing multifamily residential building energy benchmarking program for strata and rental buildings. UBC is a member of the Building Benchmark BC pilot project, and the CEM coordinated participation of rental and strata MURBs in this voluntary reporting energy benchmarking program., New requirements for commercial retail EV ready charging were included in REAP 4.0., We are partnering with BC Hydro to provide public curbside L2 charging and expanding a DCFC network., The CEM supported ongoing work with the UNA on the development of a communications plan., In this period, we completed the low-carbon MURB retrofit design project and MURB archetype Energy Step Code/ embodied carbon project, launched a UBC Sustainability Scholar retrofit comms toolkit project, and worked on development of a BC Hydro Implementation Offer neighbourhood scale load management project
