BCIT School of Energy has heard industry’s challenge to find experts in building energy modelling and simulation. We have developed a microcredential for those who want to complement their education and/or experience. Building Energy Modelling and Simulation Fundamentals is the first course of a three-part microcredential designed to prepare the industry working professional to become a professional “energy modeller”.
This 2-day, in-person lab course allows for hands-on practice constructing various air barrier systems and assembly details for zero energy/emissions and Passive House buildings to meet the requirements of the national and provincial zero energy (BC Energy Step Code) and Passive House standards.
This course covers the fundamentals of for zero energy/emissions and Passive House buildings, with focus on wood-frame construction. The course will help learners develop their knowledge of international, national and provincial zero energy/emissions buildings codes and standards. Students will also develop an understanding of zero energy/emissions buildings principles, science, systems, materials and costs. The course presents multiple case studies and provides a strong foundation for subsequent zero energy/emissions building courses.

This is an online info session.
Energy Management is the practice of energy conservation, in short making sure that industry is only using the energy it needs while meeting the goals of comfort and production.
This course provides an introduction to the wide range of green energy strategies and local economic development opportunities for communities. Green energy is sourced from clean and renewable sources. https://www.bcit.ca/study/courses/cesa5310
