Leadership Recognition

The first ZEBx Decarb Lunch webinar of 2026 will be co-hosted with Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC (CHBA BC). In this one-hour webinar, speakers Pauline Rupp of CHBA BC, Mark Bernhardt of Bernhardt Contracting and Henri Belisle of TQ Construction will draw on the latest CHBA BC data of over 8,500 as-built Hot2000 energy models to examine real-world building industry results and practical approaches to reducing carbon emissions in Part 9 residential construction. 

As the building sector strives to play a more active role in curbing global warming while also adapting to a changing climate, it’s becoming clear that some of the metrics guiding our progress—energy, cost, and carbon—can no longer be treated separately. Join ZEBx for a Decarb Lunch where reload and UBC Campus & Community Planning unveil findings from an investigation into how best to push forward with the higher levels of the BC Energy Step Code and BC Zero Carbon Step Code when cost and whole life carbon are also considered. 

Celebrate the Tradeswomen Exhibit with an evening of art, music, and community amongst construction leaders. Pop in for an hour, stay the whole time and explore powerful portraits, and connect with fellow industry allies. A light snack platter will be served with a cash bar available.

Welcoming words and reflections will be at 7PM.
