Builder Forum Series: Step Code Airtightness and Overheating Design

Register now for our upcoming online webinar on Thursday, October 17th, from 9:00 – 11:00 am.

James Higgins and James Bourget of RDH Building Science Inc. will be presenting on various design and implementation strategies for Part 9 buildings to comply with airtightness requirements for Step 4 and 5 of the BC Energy Step code. The presenters will also be showcasing compliant design strategies to meet overheating requirements per 9.33.3.1 of the BC Building Code.

Workshop 2: High Performance Building Envelopes and Step Code for Part 9 Homes

This half-day workshop will focus on bringing the learning of workshop 1 into practice by dividing participants into several groups to collaborate with their counterparts in developing various full-scale, coloured exterior insulated details based on the concepts covered in workshops 1 and 2. During this highly interactive session, Hamid Heidarali and his team will visit each group, review their details, and provide tailored comments and feedback.

4 AIBC, BOABC & BC Housing Credits available.

Workshop 1: High Performance Building Envelopes and Step Code for Part 9 Homes

This half-day workshop will start with an introduction to building envelope, the current energy efficiency trends, and the importance of a holistic approach to energy efficiency when dealing with higher levels of BC Energy Step Code. Following that, practical, holistic, and insightful solutions for addressing the above-mentioned three challenges will be presented based on several recently completed, fully exterior insulated wood-framed buildings in BC.
