- Latest updates on the pending Energy Step Code and City efforts to develop a new Passive Design Exclusions policy.
- Knowledge sharing from a local builder achieving the highest levels of airtightness (thus far) for a Part 9 building in New Westminster.
- The importance of right-sizing mechanical HVAC systems with room-by-room load calculations.
- New cost subsidized training programs for local builders and designer / architects in Passive House construction.
- Networking opportunity with City staff including building officials and planners.
