Building Benchmark BC Year 4

Building Benchmark BC is Canada’s largest voluntary building energy benchmarking program. The Year 3 Report, launched in February this year, highlights that roughly 25% of office buildings would need to take action to reduce their carbon emissions to meet the regulations requirements, which take effect in 2026. 

Learn about how you can get ahead with Building Benchmark BC! This webinar will cover: 

- An introduction to the program

- The benefits of participating

- How to participate

We hope to see you there!

Integrating Renewable Energy Systems into Buildings

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.

HVACR Perspectives on Climate Change

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.
