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 Climate Risk Institute, in collaboration with Engineers and Geoscientists BC, developed a course funded by Natural Resources Canada. It provides a foundation for climate risk assessment and resiliency measures in planning, design, and construction of Part 3 buildings. The course supports capacity building for engineers, architects, planners, and other building sector professionals.

Leveraging the successes and lessons learned from buildings certified under the CAGBC Zero Carbon Building Standards (ZCB-Standards), this hands-on workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to use the Standards and their technical resources.

This webinar aims to foster awareness about CSA certification of manufactured buildings, modules and panels to help local governments integrate certification into bylaws and the permitting process and help industry navigate this process. It will outline the benefits to local governments, the construction industry and manufacturers and risk management considerations to maximize code and bylaw compliance, including unique local requirements such as seismic standards and advanced energy step code. CSA A277 certification of manufactured buildings, modules and panels will be the focus.

As B.C. businesses electrify and cooling loads rise, managing peak electricity demand is becoming more important than ever.

Demand response programs are helping businesses to shift some of their electricity use out of peak demand periods, and putting money back into their pockets. Load shifting can result in a more stable and resilient energy system. Simple tactics can be employed to help commercial building owners and managers take advantage of BC Hydro’s Demand Response Behavioural program.

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.
