Duct capacity is often a limiting factor in sizing retrofit heat pumps, and contractors often size heat pumps based on the existing air conditioner, resulting in under-sized equipment. A simple 15-minute test can provide definitive air flow capacity of a duct system, contributing to a proper sized heat pump and avoiding poor system performance—such as noise problems due to restrictive ductwork. Energy Advisors (EA) can easily add this procedure to the scope of an Energy Evaluation.

What if you could see where a building leaks—without relying on temperature differences or pressurization? Acoustic imaging is an emerging technology that does just that. By visualizing sound escaping through cracks and gaps, it allows energy advisors and building professionals to pinpoint air leakage in real time—even during construction or in modular units.

Join the HPSC and Province of BC for an online webinar to introduce the newly launched BC Home Energy Planner — a free digital service designed to help British Columbians better understand their home’s energy efficiency and take the first steps toward retrofits. This session will include: an overview of the Home Energy Planner service; a live demonstration of how it works; plus insights into how it can support your work. This webinar will be a great opportunity to see how this new service can add value to your projects and clients.

In this course, students will gain a fundamental understanding of energy and emissions including where energy comes from, how it is used or captured, and the impacts it has on people and the planet. Students will learn about climate change mitigation and adaptation, resilience, economic and health benefits, and much more.

As part of the Building Energy Modelling and Simulation microcredential, this course is the first of three that prepares the building industry working professional to become professional energy modellers who are competent in performing whole building energy simulations, and applying them to different stages of building design, operation and renovations - al within less than a year.  

Let's enjoy the amazing summer patio weather and catch up with each other over some appetizers.

We’ve reserved some space at Browns Socialhouse at 675 Cambie St so pop by anytime and enjoy some good company and great conversation. Hope to see you there!

These free, in-person sessions are designed for municipal staff who are leading the way on climate resiliency work. Each workshop offers a hands-on opportunity to: 

✅ Learn with and from peers and local community members 
✅ Explore practical tools and real-world adaptation strategies 
✅ Strengthen your municipality’s capacity to embed equity in climate adaptation efforts 

Workshops are facilitated by local climate service providers who understand your region’s unique challenges and are here to support your goals on the ground. 

In this dialogue, panelists will challenge assumptions and explore the co-benefits of climate resilience, from resilient infrastructure and smart investments to community-driven solutions and emergency response.
