Building Code is getting greener

I noticed in an old copy of the Nelson News that there have been energy and efficiency changes to the BC Building Code. Of interest is that as of last September, "low-flow" toilets are now mandatory in new construction and renovations (low-flow meaning 6 litres per flush or less). As well, there are maximum flow rates for taps and shower-heads. For more information, see: Greening the BC Building Code: First Steps.
