Materials that Improve Energy Use & Reduce Emissions
Real‑world lessons on selecting construction materials for an energy efficient build that also limits embodied carbon emissions.
Tune in to join a panel of building professionals explain what you need to consider when choosing materials for a high-performance home. Panelists will discuss supply chain realities and decision‑making in different contexts, including rural and remote communities, cold‑climate conditions, tariffs, and emerging materials.
Attendees will gain practical insights into balancing performance, cost, and carbon intensity when selecting materials. The session will highlight cost-effective approaches, strategies to preserve energy efficiency, and ways to reduce embodied carbon — while exploring how thoughtful material choices can support both project budgets and high-performance outcomes.
Bring your questions!
Please submit questions during event registration. We want to hear your real-world scenarios, which panelists will address in facilitated discussion (as many questions as time permits).
Who should attend?
This webinar and panel will be of interest to higher performance builders and any building-related trades and professionals who are or may be required to understand, interpret, and apply the BC Building Code, BC Energy Step Code, and BC Zero Carbon Step Code.
