In the Southern Interior, communities and organizations came together for an energetic dialogue on renewable energy like wind, solar and hydro.

On Vancouver Island, communities and organizations came together for an energetic dialogue on renewable energy like wind, % solar and hydro.
Power efficient design strategies, including efficiency improvements, load elimination, and the application of energy management systems (EMS), mean many BC homes already have enough electrical capacity with 100 A service.
When electrical loads are planned and managed thoughtfully, buildings can often accommodate new electrical equipment without electrical service upgrades—reducing costs, avoiding delays, and boosting confidence for residents, builders, and developers….
A CEA-organized event in Prince George showcased real-world projects and the experiences of practitioners to show that low-carbon energy efficiency is not only achievable, but may also be the more affordable option.
In-person training with BCIT instructors takes place in the Village of Gitanmaax from July 6–8, 2026.
Learn how buildings in the North can use less energy, cost less to build & operate, last longer, look better, and respond to climate change. Decisions about energy and energy-efficiency…
This dialogue will bring communities, industry, renewable energy proponents, educators, utilities, regulators, and key organizations together. Learn about existing projects in your region, what additional projects are planned, why they’re necessary, and how communities can get more involved (and realize more benefits).

Discover how Integrated Design Planning supports collaboration, cost savings, and reliable results in new build and retrofit projects. This charette will use assessment data from real homes to map out the priority actions, sequence and costs of healthy home energy retrofits using an envelope-first and house-as-a-system approach.
