Spring Training Camp / Net Zero Leadership Summit 2023

Full Agenda Now Available! Click here!

 

This Spring, CHBA’s popular Net Zero Leadership Summit is being combined with Building Knowledge Canada’s Spring Training in a super-charged "mash-up" event that will bring together two of the top building science events in Canada. The best of the best will come together in Stratford, Ontario for informative speakers, training (including some hands-on), and a grand tour of some building sites showcasing good building science. This event is aimed at anyone interested in learning more about high-performance housing.

The Main Themes:

  • Strategies to decarbonize new and existing homes in Canada : What are Canada's leading builders preparing for future designs and communities
  • Opportunities for air-to-water systems in low load homes-Design synergies and strategies
  • The deeper impact of Low Carbon materials and construction within the housing industry
  • Grid Interactive Homes and communities: What is the strategy for future new community development
  • New strategies for smaller, integrated air distribution design in low load homes: ASHP, Hybrid and ventilation synergies.
  • Deep Historical Retrofits: Building Science Lessons learned and design strategies
  • Lessons learned: Net Zero Renovations - CHBA NZ Council
  • A Deep Building Science Dive into EXERGY - Distinguished ASHRAE Lecturer Robert Bean
