Two 3‑hour courses will be offered:
Morning: Design of Affordable and Efficient Ground-Source Heat Pump Systems
Covers key best practices for designing high‑performance, cost‑effective ground‑source heat pump systems.
Afternoon: “Updated” Next‑Generation Low‑Carbon Buildings
An advanced session for engineers and architects focused on strategies for designing and operating zero‑energy, low‑carbon buildings.
We will walk through SNOLAB is Canada’s deep underground research laboratory, located in Vale’s Creighton mine near Sudbury. The presentation will review the research requirements and describe how these were translated into the design scope for the facility to be located 6,800 feet below ground level. We will walk through the construction challenges and review the strategies to keep this specialized facility on budget in a challenging underground construction environment. Designing for commissioning and operation will be discussed as well as the commissioning requirements.
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the “ASHRAE Vancouver Island HVAC&R Trade Show 2025" sponsored by the ASHRAE Vancouver Island Chapter, a show offering the latest products and technologies to our industry.
This is the only total HVAC-Refrigeration Trade Show on Vancouver Island that will provide opportunity to learn more about the latest technologies in the industry and network with the stakeholders,
A Panel for Students and people in industry to answer some questions about getting involved in the HVAC&R industry around energy modeling and some of perspective of where the industry is going.
The building permitting process can seem both daunting and confusing. This presentation is intended to outline the permitting process, the reasons for this process as well discuss some pitfalls during the submissions which delays approval.
VI ASHRAE is proud to welcome ASHRAE Past Society President and Distinguished Lecturer, Darryl Boyce, to our April Gala Trade Show Meeting.
Achieving Net Zero Operation in an Existing Building Retrofit – The ASHRAE Headquarters Experience
VI ASHRAE is proud to welcome ASHRAE Past Society President and Distinguished Lecturer, Sheila Hayter, to our February Meeting. Sheila will introduce us to technical opportunities, means, and methods for incorporating renewable energy (RE) technologies into building designs and operations. She will give an overview of RE resources and available technologies used successfully to offset building electrical and thermal energy loads. Methods for applying these technologies in buildings and the role of building energy efficiency (EE) in successful RE projects will be addressed.
Presenters will give an overview of Raise the bar on what to expect from your building’s energy systems while meeting todays net-zero climate targets! The presentation focuses on Micro- Combined Heat and Power (CHP) energy efficient solutions.
