Detailed agenda and list of guest speakers to be announced soon.
VI ASHRAE is proud to welcome ASHRAE Past Society President and Distinguished Lecturer, Sheila Hayter, to our February Meeting. Sheila will introduce us to technical opportunities, means, and methods for incorporating renewable energy (RE) technologies into building designs and operations. She will give an overview of RE resources and available technologies used successfully to offset building electrical and thermal energy loads. Methods for applying these technologies in buildings and the role of building energy efficiency (EE) in successful RE projects will be addressed.
These workshop webinars will review important foundational knowledge for low-carbon buildings, with an emphasis on the latest versions of CAGBC’s Zero Carbon Building standards. The requirements for both new and existing buildings will be addressed.

With Canada's aggressive Climate Change Action Plans, how can the industry be a resource for policymakers and regulatory bodies when developing public programs?
These comprehensive and interactive panel discussion sessions are designed to help connect HRAI members and industry professionals with the policymakers and climate change champions in their specific regions.
Speakers include industry experts (representing the manufacturing, wholesaler and commercial/residential contractor segments) and government/utility representatives.
Cet atelier en direct d'une demi-journée passera en revue les connaissances de base en matière de bâtiments à carbone zéro, en insistant sur la dernière version des Normes du Bâtiment à Carbone Zéro du CBDCA. Il traitera des exigences applicables aux bâtiments nouveaux et existants et notamment des questions suivantes:
Follow the journey of a municipality that has made strides in advancing energy efficiency in their affordable housing buildings and how the advancements have supported municipal climate commitments, efforts to reduce GHG emissions, and saving money for those experiencing energy poverty.
This introductory webinar will help motivate municipal staff to consider energy efficiency in the context of any municipal affordable housing or consider a partnership for an energy efficiency project with an affordable housing provider.
What you will learn:
This live half-day workshop will review important foundational knowledge for low-carbon buildings, with an emphasis on the latest version of CAGBC’s Zero Carbon Building Standard. The requirements for both new and existing buildings will be addressed. Topics Include:
- The zero carbon balance,
- The zero carbon transition plan,
- Embodied carbon,
- Thermal Energy Demand Intensity (TEDI),
- Energy use Intensity (EUI),
- Peak demand, and
- Renewable energy
A high-performance building satisfies a wide range of key performance criteria, with energy efficiency being one of those. However, the opposite is not always the case, meaning an energy efficient building is not necessarily a high-performance building.
On Wednesday, October 26, 2022 from 9:00 - 11:00am, the Township of Langley will be hosting an online builder forum to share information related to integrated design process (IDP) and how it can help you meet and exceed energy performance targets in Part 9 buildings. Topics include: a step-by-step on effectively conducting IDP for Step 4/5 buildings, key stakeholders in IDP, and real-life examples of buildings that have gone through the IDP process. Township of Langley updates will be given at the beginning of the webinar.
