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\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 pending approval for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Point 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 Builds in Northern BC: Real-World Lessons from the Field
DESCRIPTION:Find out what it takes to design and build energy-efficient buildings in Northern BC from those who’ve successfully pulled it off. \n\n\n\n\nTune-in to hear from two different project teams sharing their experience delivering high-performance homes in northern\, rural and remote communities. \nHear directly from your peers about the opportunities\, challenges\, lessons learned\, and actual performance results behind two real-world projects. \nWhether you’re working in Northern BC or elsewhere in the province\, these examples demonstrate that high-performance buildings are achievable across a wide range of communities and project types. \nThis interactive webinar will feature short presentations about each project\, followed by a facilitated discussion. RSVP now for free! \nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nPractical lessons learned from three high-performance projects in Northern BC\nHow project teams approached energy efficiency\, resilience\, and building performance\nReal-world performance data and outcomes\nStrategies for delivering high-performance buildings in remote communities and northern climates\, from experienced project teams.\nInsights into costs (both initial capital and ongoing operating) and grants/rebates that offset planning and capital costs.\nWhy high-performance construction is increasingly achievable and scalable across BC\n\nHear from your peers\, ask questions\, and discover how high-performance buildings can be successfully delivered in communities throughout Northern BC and beyond. \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 pending approval for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Point through BC Housing. \nNotes\nEvent is free of charge\, but you must register. \nIf you can’t attend the webinar—no problem!
