Tribe and Electric Asset: Empowering Strata Corporations with Energy Planning and EV Readiness Solutions

In a strategic move to support the growing demand for energy-efficient technologies and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, Tribe Property Technologies (Tribe) has partnered with Electric Asset Inc. (Electric Asset). This collaboration aims to empower strata corporations across British Columbia with specialized services and reports, enabling them to meet legislative requirements and future-proof their buildings. The partnership offers access to five key programs designed to enhance building operations and promote sustainability.

1. Electrical Planning Report (EPR): A mandatory report for British Columbia strata properties under the Strata Property Act, the EPR assesses a building's electrical capacity and provides insights into future electrical demands. By obtaining an EPR, strata corporations can understand their current electrical capacity and plan for increased demands, such as EV charging and heat pumps. This helps them manage within their existing capacity and avoid expensive upgrades (Source: [EPR information page](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-land/real-estate/strata-housing/bylaws-rules/electrical-planning-reports)).
2. EV Ready Plan (EVRP): This service evaluates the costs and requirements for making buildings EV-ready, with rebates of up to 75% of the plan's cost available through BC Hydro. By encouraging the adoption of EVs and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, strata corporations can help decrease greenhouse gas emissions and support sustainability goals (Source: [BC Hydro EV charging rebate program](https://www.bchydro.com/power_savings/residential_programs/ev_charging_rebate.html)).
3. Opportunity Assessment Report: This report identifies opportunities to improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and access retrofit funding through BC Hydro programs. By implementing energy-efficient measures, strata corporations can lower their energy consumption and carbon emissions, contributing to ESG initiatives (Source: [BC Hydro energy efficiency programs](https://www.bchydro.com/power_savings/residential_programs/energy_saving_program.html)).
4. Annual Energy and Carbon Reporting (GHG): This mandatory report, required by the City of Vancouver, helps strata corporations understand their building's energy performance and greenhouse gas emissions. By tracking and reporting energy use and emissions, strata corporations can identify areas for improvement and set targets for reducing their environmental impact (Source: [City of Vancouver energy and carbon reporting](https://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/energy-and-carbon-reporting.aspx)).
5. Voltage Conversion Projects for BC Hydro (VCP): This process involves converting parts of the electrical distribution system from 4 or 12 kV to 25 kV. By optimizing the electrical distribution system, strata corporations can improve energy efficiency and reduce losses, contributing to sustainability goals (Source: [BC Hydro voltage conversion projects](https://www.bchydro.com/energy-infrastructure/projects/voltage-conversion.html)).

Through this partnership, Tribe and Electric Asset empower strata corporations to navigate complex processes and adopt innovative solutions, ultimately facilitating the adoption of energy-efficient technologies and EV charging infrastructure. By providing access to these services and supporting grant applications, the collaboration enables strata corporations to meet evolving legislative requirements and environmental standards while embracing the future of energy management.

In conclusion, the partnership between Tribe Property Technologies and Electric Asset Inc. supports the achievement of ESG initiatives and sustainability goals in the strata property management sector by offering specialized services and reports. By embracing these solutions, strata corporations can future-proof their buildings, reduce their carbon footprint, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
