Code Consultations

Welcome to the website for the consultations on proposed energy and water efficiency requirements in Manitoba's building and plumbing codes.

This website provides information about the energy and water efficiency recommendations received by government and guidance on how stakeholders can participate in the consultations taking place from April 7, 2008 to June 30, 2008.

The intent is to develop and implement minimum energy efficiency and water efficiency requirements for cost-effective new, commercial construction and houses.

The Office of the Fire Commissioner is responsible for the development of all building codes in Manitoba and is pleased to host these consultations for the Government of Manitoba. We invite you to share your comments during this time.

The provincial government is committed to improving conservation practices that save money, reduce reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and preserve our lakes and rivers. Provincial initiatives in these areas include:

• requirements for increased insulation in new-house construction
• Manitoba's Green Building Policy for provincially-funded buildings

This website will be updated as changes occur and/or additional consultation information is available. If you would like to receive electronic updates about the consultation, click here to have your name and e-mail address added to the consultation contact list.
