SUMMARY:Build Better Homes on Budget with Integrated Design Process (IDP)
DESCRIPTION:Learn how IDP helps builders and owner‑builders align trades and energy advisors early to deliver efficient homes on budget. \nDate: Thursday\, March 12\, 2026\nTime: 8–10 a.m. PT\nLocation: Zoom \nRSPV for Free \nAbout This Event\nBuilders\, contractors\, energy advisors\, designers\, owner-builders: this session introduces the Integrated Design Process (IDP) as a practical framework for delivering higher-performing\, lower-risk new construction projects. The workshop emphasizes how engaging an energy advisor (EA) early and involving trades from the outset can streamline coordination\, reduce costly mid-project changes\, and support goals such as higher BC Energy Step Code performance and reduced embodied emissions. \nParticipants will learn how IDP supports clearer decision-making across design and construction phases\, and how energy advisors contribute through early modelling\, mid-construction checks\, and final testing. The session will outline key project milestones where early collaboration between builders\, designers\, trades\, and EAs can prevent delays\, redesigns\, and performance shortfalls. \nThe format: one-hour presentation followed by a facilitated panel discussion featuring local builders and energy advisors\, providing both foundational knowledge and real-world insights. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will have a clearer understanding of roles and responsibilities within an integrated project team and practical strategies for improving communication\, coordination\, and cost-effective delivery of energy-efficient homes. \nNotes\nContinuing Professional Development (CPD) Point approval is pending through BC Housing. \n\n\nBrought to you by the Community Energy Association and the Regional District of Nanaimo.
