ZEBx has showcased many high-performance buildings over the years, but with the addition of photovoltaics on the roof, Evolve takes the cake. It even combines heating, cooling and ventilation into one system - which is quite rare in residential buildings, but possible if aiming for ultra-energy efficiency. Despite its outstanding achievements, this project isn’t as unique as you might think… for UBC at least.

Presenters will give an overview of Raise the bar on what to expect from your building’s energy systems while meeting todays net-zero climate targets! The presentation focuses on Micro- Combined Heat and Power (CHP) energy efficient  solutions.

Come and celebrate our birthday in style with your fellow leaders who are contributing to a meaningful and equitable market shift to decarbonizing BC’s building sector.

Our anniversary event will be held in-person in Vancouver and will feature the latest news and insights from B2E, key highlights from the August 2022 Copenhagen green building tour, food, drinks and socializing with peers.

Speakers:

Melina Scholefield, Executive Director, Metro Vancouver Zero Emissions Innovation Centre

Mariko Michasiw, Program Manager, B2E

Everyone understands the basic function of Commercial Kitchen Ventilation (CKV) - Get Rid of the Smoke!

This seminar will provide a basic understanding of CKV and expand on the current challenges of CKV: Urban Mixed-use Developments, Fire Safety, Grease, Smell, Noise and Climate Change.

About this event

Building Transformations is bringing Mass Timber experts together with innovators across the globe to discuss the interface between design and construction within the digital environment, the innovations happening within the manufacturing sector (notably DFMA) and the benefits in terms of productivity, project reliability and environmental sustainability.

Expressions of Interest for 3rd intake of the Mass Timber Demonstration Program (MTDP),

The Mass Timber Demonstration Program is led by Forestry Innovation Investment through its Wood First Program, in partnership with the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Economic Recovery, and Innovation.

We will be hosting an informational webinar to go over key highlights of the Program.

On September 29th NRCan’s Local Energy Efficiency Partnerships (LEEP), BC Housing and local Homebuilder Associations will be hosting a one-day workshop. These sessions will bring building experts together to review cost-effective best practices and technical solutions available through the local supply chain, and learn how to conduct energy and carbon efficient renovations.
Content includes:

• Mechanical system design and performance considerations;
• Envelope renovation systems, building science, durability, and resilience;
• Renewables and battery storage.

Calling all building owners!

In this 16 hour course, you will model thermal bridges using Flixo and understand the impact of design details on the energy performance of High-Performance Buildings/ Passive House Buildings.  We cover the concepts and protocols for thermal bridge modelling. Then, you will model several common thermal bridges using Flixo with guidance. 

There are two methods of becoming a certified Passive House Designer or Consultant: through submission of a certified Passive House project, or by passing the standardized international exam.  The exam is offered by Passive House Canada in cooperation with PHI. Certified Designers and Consultants will be listed on our website, as well as the international database. 

The exam is thorough and time-limited, and it is not recommended that you attempt the exam without first taking courses 120A, 120B and 120C offered by Passive House Canada.
