SUMMARY:Jumpstart Integrated Design Process for Retrofits
DESCRIPTION:In this free webinar\, learn how renovators can improve project delivery and building performance with the new Retrofit Jumpstart IDP Guide. \n\n\n\nAbout the event\nFrom the creator of the new Retrofit Jumpstart IDP Guide\, learn how Integrated Design Process can help renovators deliver better projects on time and on budget. \nRenovators often face delays and rework that could have been avoided with the right planning. That’s what an Integrated Design Process (IDP) is all about. Meredith Hamstead of thinkBright Homes will share their experience using IDP in the real world. She will share how IDP helps her identify issues early\, improve coordination\, and make informed decisions that save time and money throughout the project lifecycle. \nIt will also be your first opportunity to see the Retrofit Jumpstart IDP Guide. Meredith will share how it is intended to support industry professionals and can answer questions about the resource. \nWhat you’ll learn\n\nHow IDP can reduce project risk and avoid costly mistakes.\nPractical strategies for improving collaboration across project teams.\nHow early decision-making can improve project performance and value.\nInsights from real-world implementation and lessons learned.\n\nWho should attend?\nAll are welcome at this online webinar. It will be most valuable to: \n\nContractors\, Renovators\, New Home Builders\, Trades\,\nArchitects\, Designers\, Engineers\, and Energy Advisors\nEducators and training organizations\nLocal government and Indigenous community staff involved in planning\, permitting\, construction\, climate action\, sustainability\, and economic development\nOthers interested in delivering higher-performing projects through better collaboration\, risk management\, and integrated planning.\n\nContinuing Professional Development Points\nThis event is approved for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Points through BC Housing. \nNotes\nEvent is free of charge\, but you must register. \nIf you can’t attend the webinar—no problem! We’ll provide the slide deck and a link to the recording to all those who have registered.

SUMMARY:High-Performance Homes in the North: Lessons for Builders & Communities
DESCRIPTION:Designing and building high-performing\, energy-efficient homes in Northern BC is possible\, affordable\, and becoming more common across the region. In conjunction with National Housing Day\, hear from a couple of the teams leading the way:  \n\nIn Atlin\, BC’s northernmost Step 5 home is an example of the feasibility and practical limitations of net-zero building design in Northern Canada. \n\n\nMulti-family homes in Witset demonstrate the benefits of on-site power generation and prefabricated building components using wood from northern BC. \n\nThis interactive webinar will feature short presentations about each project\, followed by a facilitated discussion. Hear directly about the opportunities\, challenges\, lessons learned\, and actual performance results. RSVP now for free! \n  \n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nPractical lessons learned from two high-performance projects in Northern BC\n\n\nHow project teams approached energy efficiency\, resilience\, and building performance\n\n\nReal-world performance data and outcomes\n\n\nStrategies for delivering high-performance buildings in remote communities and northern climates\, from experienced project teams.\n\n\nInsights into costs (both initial capital and ongoing operating) and grants/rebates that offset planning and capital costs.\n\n\nWhy high-performance construction is increasingly achievable and scalable across BC\n\n\nHow high-performance buildings can be successfully delivered in communities throughout Northern BC and beyond.\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nMembers/participants in the Northern BC Climate Action Network (NorthCAN)\nContractors\, builders\, trades\, architects\, engineers\, energy advisors\, educators\, and local government or Indigenous government staff.\nAnyone interested in energy-efficient home building\n\nContinuing Professional Development Points\nThis event is approved for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Points through BC Housing. \nNotes\nEvent is free of charge\, but you must register. \nIf you can’t attend the webinar—no problem!
