AI summary The adoption of more stringent building codes and energy efficiency standards is a key indicator of market transformation. Nova Scotia's new building code, based on NECB 2020, requires a 50% increase in energy efficiency by 2028, likely necessitating high-efficiency heating systems like heat pumps. Canada's Amendment 17 to the Energy Efficiency Regulations also raises performance standards for heat pumps, especially under cold conditions.
