CHBA councils: Canadian Renovators' Council (CRC), Net Zero Council (2014), Modular Construction Council (2017), Urban Council, Executive Officers' Council, Past Presidents' Advisory
Created 2026-05-24
Claim: CHBA's program-level work happens through standing councils that report to the Board:
- Canadian Renovators' Council (CRC) — leads RenoMark (see RenoMark governance: policy set by CHBA's Canadian Renovators' Council (CRC); no independent appeals panel or consumer rep). The 2024 RenoMark trademark transfer from BILD to CHBA was approved via a joint motion from the CRC and the Executive Officers' Council.
- 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.
- Modular Construction Council — created 2017.
- Urban Council
- Executive Officers' Council (EOC) — peer council of provincial and local HBA executive officers; co-sponsored the RenoMark transfer motion.
- Past Presidents' Advisory Council

Why this matters for Candid use
When 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.
