From Plans to Performance: Integrated design process (IDP) for high-performance homes - Prince George

September 18, 2025 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM (PDT)

Description

Two steps forward, no steps back.

Imagine working on a retrofit or new build project where: everyone works well as a team, decisions are made early to achieve the best results, costs are efficient, and there are no call backs?

It’s not a dream, it’s the result of Integrated Design Planning (IDP).

Builders, energy advisors, general contractors, trades, and all other building professionals: learn how you can bring IDP to your business, so you can work efficiently and save money over the life of the project.

As an example, we will demonstrate how IDP can help you right-size HVAC mechanical systems — so your project’s heating performance will be just where it needs to be for a cold climate without overrunning costs.
