The 2024 RenoMark trademark transfer from BILD to CHBA was approved via a joint motion from the CRC and the Executive Officers' Council.\n- **Net Zero Council (NZC)** — launched **2014**. Grew out of the EnviroHome program (1994) and R-2000 program (1982). First Net Zero labelled homes in 2015.\n- **Modular Construction Council** — created **2017**.\n- **Urban Council**\n- **Executive Officers' Council (EOC)** — peer council of provincial and local HBA executive officers; co-sponsored the RenoMark transfer motion.\n- **Past Presidents' Advisory Council**\n\n**Source:** chba.ca/committees-and-councils.\n**Confidence:** Verified.\n\n## Why this matters for Candid use\n\nWhen writing about RenoMark or any CHBA program-level move, **cite the council that owns the program**, not \"CHBA\" generically. This is the level at which decisions like RenoMark's licensing terms, the Net Zero Labelling Program, and modular standards are actually set.","rationale_body":null,"metadata":null,"links":{"outgoing":[{"slug":"renomark-origin-bild-2001-transfer-chba-2024","title":"RenoMark origin: launched 2001 by BILD (then GTHBA); trademark transferred from BILD-GTA to CHBA in June 2024","kind":"reference","scope":"business","link_type":"relates-to"},{"slug":"chba-renovators-council-governance","title":"RenoMark governance: policy set by CHBA's Canadian Renovators' Council (CRC); no independent appeals panel or consumer rep","kind":"reference","scope":"business","link_type":"relates-to"}],"incoming":[{"slug":"research-brief-canadian-hba-stack","title":"Research brief: The Canadian HBA stack — CHBA / OHBA / BILD / WRHBA federated three-tier model, with marketing implications for Ontario builders and renovators (May 24, 2026)","kind":"reference","scope":"business","link_type":"relates-to"}]},"created_at":"2026-05-24T16:32:33.748Z","updated_at":"2026-05-24T16:32:33.748Z"}
