SUMMARY:Grid Resilience and Peak Saver Program
DESCRIPTION:Learn about BC’s grid resilience and the different ways homeowners can get involved and benefit through the Peak Saver Program. \nAbout this event\nBuilding a resilient energy grid is a critical priority as our reliance on electricity grows and weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable. This session explores the strategies and technologies necessary to safeguard our energy infrastructure against high-demand peaks\, ensuring a stable and reliable power supply for communities. We will examine how flexible demand management and the integration of smart\, distributed energy resources can prevent system strain and enhance local energy security. Join us to learn how these modern resilience efforts are transforming the way we manage power to create a more robust and future-proof energy ecosystem\, and hoow you can help as homeowners. \nRSVP for Free \n\n\nEvent is free of charge\, but you must register. If you cannot attend the webinar—no problem! We’ll provide the slide deck and a link to the recording to all those who have registered. \n\n\nBrought to you by the Community Energy Association with the support of BC Hydro.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is one of many activities presented by Community Energy Association through: \nRetrofit Assist\, a concierge service offered in collaboration with local governments to assist homeowners in navigating the process and financing of home energy retrofit projects. \nBuilding A Legacy\, a program that advances high-performance building practices in BC\, with a particular focus on the Kootenay and Boundary regions and Northern BC. Through awareness raising and training\, the program increases workforce capacity to

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). \nRSVP for Free \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.
