CHBA BC and Building Officials’ Association of BC (BOABC) are pleased to present the 2nd annual Education Summit for builders and building officials in BC.
Some featured topics include:
Registered EAs delivering the EnerGuide Rating System (ERS) will be able to perform accurate whole-house design heat loss and gain calculations using verified software for existing housing in the retrofit market to help with the sizing of the heating and cooling equipment based primarily on the information collected during a home energy evaluation, with a little additional F280-compliant information as needed. By completing the course, this is a service you can offer homeowners and contractors, providing a value an HVAC professional can use to size a heat pump
In this course, students will take a hands-on approach to develop a Community Energy and Emissions Plan. Students will learn to navigate the planning process, identify funding sources, and learn to manage project consultants.
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.
The Livable Cities Forum (LCF) is the preeminent event on local climate action in Canada. LCF 2024 will convene in Vancouver to explore “multisolving” – collaborating to address multiple challenges with a single action – to advance climate mitigation, adaptation, and infrastructure. Join us from October 23-25, 2024!
