CACEA

Review the Code Editor and Code Library work and with step-by-step instructions for creating User-defined Codes.

Come you with your questions for NRCan on this procedure.

Join Natasha Brooks from Building Efficiency Resources (BER), Brett Cass from the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) and Michael Quast from the Passive House Canada for an informative webinar designed to help Energy Advisors better understand and communicate the differences between major high-performance building standards. This session will clarify the distinctions between CHBA Net Zero Homes, Passive House certification, and Phius standards, and show how these programs can complement one another rather than compete.

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.

Duct capacity is often a limiting factor in sizing retrofit heat pumps, and contractors often size heat pumps based on the existing air conditioner, resulting in under-sized equipment. A simple 15-minute test can provide definitive air flow capacity of a duct system, contributing to a proper sized heat pump and avoiding poor system performance—such as noise problems due to restrictive ductwork. Energy Advisors (EA) can easily add this procedure to the scope of an Energy Evaluation.

What if you could see where a building leaks—without relying on temperature differences or pressurization? Acoustic imaging is an emerging technology that does just that. By visualizing sound escaping through cracks and gaps, it allows energy advisors and building professionals to pinpoint air leakage in real time—even during construction or in modular units.
