CACEA

Climatic-related disasters are increasing in frequency and intensity, making resilience a critical topic of discussion at international meetings, within building codes, program labeling initiatives, and across various industries—particularly financial institutions and the insurance sector.

Energy Advisors must enhance their expertise in resilience, staying informed about the latest practices, strategies, and innovations to address these pressing challenges effectively.

This is a key meeting for all CACEA’s members and supporters.

The Integrated Design Process (IDP) is a highly collaborative approach to achieving sustainable (low energy, low carbon) practices and outcomes for both new construction and existing homes. It ensures delivery of affordable, durable, healthy homes for Canadians. 

CACEA is offering an interactive training program designed to provide comprehensive information about the IDP. The program places a strong emphasis on facilitation skills, equipping participants with the tools and techniques needed to lead and effectively guide this crucial process.

November is National Radon Month and the Canadian Association of Consulting Energy Advisors (CACEA), in partnership with the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST), has designed a training program for Energy Advisors.

With a focus on EAs and their work, Dan Boyd will discuss the differences and similarities between F280-12 heat loss/gain calculations, and provide specific examples by comparing HOT2000 inputs and outputs with values derived using HRAI procedures. Based on CSA Standard F280-12, participants gain a firsthand introduction to the basic principles of building science and heat loss/gain. Through a variety of in-class exercises, participants will learn how to:

● Determine the thermal resistance (R-value) of various building assemblies, such as walls and ceilings;
