This session will focus on climate change and its direct impact on the building industry.

Does the mindset for residential construction today correlate with the performance targets of tomorrow … simply put … No! High-performance residential buildings need to be highly durable, but what type of enclosure assemblies will meet future energy demand requirements? What are the renewable details associated with typical 15-20-year building enclosure assets (e.g., deck/balcony membranes and sloped roof systems)? How can you gain experience with new high-performance building performance details before taking them on during your next project?

In the wake of increasingly and impactful severe weather events, the true price of maintaining business as usual has become apparent. Recognizing the shift in home buyers’ priorities towards resilience, comfort, and health, Mark Bernhardt of Bernhardt Contracting will provide an exploration of carbon reduction.

This session will dive into the intricacies of the BC Zero Carbon Step Code, what it is, where it stands, why it matters. Armed with comprehensive datasets, he will paint a picture of the current state of the industry and project where it needs to be and when.

This new training course specifically focuses on the limitations and challenges contractors face when undertaking enclosure retrofits on existing homes. Contrary to new builds, retrofits come with many challenges from unknowns, including as-built products and materials, occupied conditions, phasing limitations, and existing structural configurations. These challenges must be met with creativity, adaptation, and a strong knowledge of best-practice retrofit solutions.

Spots are limited for hands-on engagement. All tools and materials required for hands-on training will be provided.
