HPSC’s Retrofitting with a House-as-a-System Approach (Terrace)

Description

Join us for an introduction to retrofitting with a whole-home approach to create better homes for your clients and to grow your business.

Pre-approved for 4 CPDs

Building A Legacy North, a collaboration of CHBA Northern BC and Community Energy Association, is bringing another in-person, quality training opportunity for building professionals in Northwestern BC.

Retrofits can be complex! Upgrading one aspect of a home will affect many other aspects of the building because, a house operates as "a system". 

Bonus content:  a one-hour introduction to the Zero Carbon Step Code - what is it and why is it important? This will provide a high level overview and will provide a lead into a more fulsome exploration to this topic at an in-person workshop in Prince George on November 13, 2024.  More information and register here.   

Join instructor Shawn Wiebe for a presentation of the Home Performance Stakeholder Council's (HPSC's) Retrofitting with a House as a System Approach. Learn the fundamental building science concepts that will allow you to more confidently carry out an energy retrofit using a systematic approach. The presentation will be supported with slides, participant discussion and a set of hands-on wall, window, and roof mock-ups to encourage understanding of the course content.
