SUMMARY:Materials that Improve Energy Use & Reduce Emissions
DESCRIPTION:Real‑world lessons on selecting construction materials for an energy efficient build that also limits embodied carbon emissions. \nTune 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. \nAttendees 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. \nBring your questions!\nPlease 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). \nWho should attend?\nThis 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. \nRSVP for Free \n  \nPart of the Building Solutions Exchange\nThis event series is a unique opportunity for builders and contractors to hear from other experts in the field\, ask questions\, and share their own knowledge and expertise. \nThe Building Solutions Exchange is sponsored by Macdonald Mechanical Inc. an Okanagan heat pump and energy efficiency expert.
