There is still time to register for the upcoming spring 2017 ENERGY STAR for New Homes workshops. In the fall of 2017 CEA hosted 5 very successful workshops in BC to support homebuilders with becoming certified to build ENERGY STAR New Homes. In the winter and spring of 2017, we will be facilitating 6 more of these workshops (see below for dates and locations). Attendees will earn CPD Credits, understand how to obtain Utility ENERGY STAR rebates, and how to benefit from local initiatives. Building officials in attendance will gain more insight how the ENERGY STAR certification process works. Agenda and presenters vary per community, but each workshop will cover:
• ENERGY STAR® for New Homes
• EnerGuide
• BC’s Energy Step Code
• Incentives
• Working with an Energy Advisor
