B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal member said a strata's AGM decision to have an overall plan for heat pumps was reasonable.
B.C.’s Civil Resolution Tribunal has rejected an attempt by two strata owners to have their building reverse its refusal to allow a rooftop heat pump.
Brown and Dales claimed the refusal was unreasonable and asked for an order that the apartment section grant permission for them to install a heat pump, plus $5,000 in compensation to reflect increased costs since they first requested permission. “Section executive meeting minutes from May 2022 show that the working group was leaning towards a building-wide solution rather than heat pumps in individual units,” Regehr wrote.
Strata overall strategy At the Feb. 22, 2023 AGM, the owners approved a $15,000 expense for a “comprehensive whole building strategy for the future heating and cooling of the building,” and sent out a request for proposals later that year.
