SUMMARY:Mind the Gap: Preventing Failure in HVAC and Airtightness- Smithers
DESCRIPTION:Pre-approved for 7.5 CPD from BC Housing \nThis one-day course will take a deeper dive into the BC Energy Step Code metrics for Part 9 buildings and how to achieve Step 3 and higher through design and building techniques to minimize extra cost. The content will focus on practical strategies for effective design\, proper selection and installation of mechanical systems\, and airtightness. Using real world examples and different housing archetypes from local climates\, we will examine why some projects fail while others pass easily. This session is geared towards home building and design professionals. Instruction will assume a basic understanding of the BC Energy Step Code. \nTOPICS COVERED INCLUDE\n• Design and material considerations for Step Code compliance \n• Tips to communicate with mechanical designers and mechanical trades to ensure properly-sized and installed HVAC equipment \n• Airtightness best practices\, testing process and checklist \n• Strategies and solutions for a cost-effective air tightness result (renovations & new builds) \nThis course will include an onsite component at the end of the day. Using a local real world onsite home\, the class will participate in a blower door test. This will include hands-on preparation for the test\, highlighting common problem areas as well as strategies for improvement and repairs. As this portion of the course will take place on a local construction site\, please dress appropriately for conditions. Access to a vehicle will be required to get to the site from the course venue. \nRegister HERE \nOther events include: \nMay 12-Prince George\nJune 23- Dawson Creek

SUMMARY:Zero Carbon Step Code - BCMCLC Meeting
DESCRIPTION:If you are an elected official in BC and would like to connect with other locally elected officials and learn about the Zero Carbon Step Code (an opt-in carbon performance standard for new construction being made available to local governments as of May 1)\, join the first BC Municipal Climate Leadership Council (BCMCLC) meeting of 2023. \nWhen: May 17\, 2023\, 10 am to noon Pacific Time\nWho is the Meeting For: Any and all locally elected officials in BC\nRegister for the Meeting here: https://ca01web.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5UkcuCgpzkoHtxsw81rBGONosd7yPRRLhz3 \nWhy now?\nLocal governments have great authority to influence new construction and create more comfortable and climate-friendly buildings and homes. In just a few weeks\, changes will be made to the BC Building Code that will require new buildings to be about 20% more energy efficient than what is currently the law. On May 1\, whether local governments have passed their own bylaws on the Energy Step Code or not\, changes are coming: \n\nFor Part 3 buildings\, including large commercial\, retail\, and residential units: Step 2 will be the new minimum standard\nFor Part 9 buildings\, such as single-family dwellings and duplexes: Step 3 will be the new minimum.\n\nIn addition to these Province-wide energy efficiency standards\, May 1 also marks the launch of the opt-in Zero Carbon Step Code (formerly known as the Carbon Pollution Standard). Local governments must choose to adopt to directly limit greenhouse gas emissions from new construction alongside the energy efficiency requirements in the Energy Step Code and building code. \nThis BCMCLC network meeting will focus on the Zero Carbon Step Code and how your community can lead in stepping up energy efficiency and carbon performance in new construction. \nAbout BCMCLC\nThe BC Municipal Climate Leadership Council is a network facilitated by the Community Energy Association (CEA) with guidance from a steering committee composed of 12-15 elected officials from every region of BC. BCMCLC brings together any and all locally elected officials interested in accelerating the implementation of low-carbon solutions\, while also supporting multiple community priorities. Network meeting topics and content will focus on networking\, information sharing\, and how high-impact projects in a community or region can be adapted successfully in other communities. The goal is to share and replicate outcomes\, not effort.

SUMMARY:Getting to Implementation in BC/Big Moves Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:CEA has undertaken a BC-focused update to the Community Energy Planning: Getting to Implementation in Canada project to identify best practices for bold climate action implementation. The update includes recommendations for local governments on how to effectively move from planning to actioning\, taking into account their local context\, unique opportunities\, and existing resources.  \nDuring this time\, CEA also launched the Big Moves Community of Practice\, a pilot that offered dedicated coaching support to communities to help them become implementation-ready for a Big Move project to reduce emissions and advance low/zero carbon communities.  \nPlease join us on Thursday\, February 9th\, from 1pm-2:30pm PST to learn more about the updated Getting to Implementation guide and discuss the findings\, as well as hear from the Community of Practice communities (Squamish\, Whistler\, and Courtenay) on their process to becoming implementation-ready for their Big Move projects. Through the presentations and discussion\, we will explore the factors and elements of successful implementation for local governments.  \nPlease register here: https://ca01web.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5AkfuugrD8rGdONx7YzDvdZeEuWGQnYbDk6
