Net Zero Leader Summit Banner

Canada's Foremost Event For Net Zero Homes

CHBA has taken a leadership role in helping early adopters of Net Zero Energy Homes overcome barriers and voluntarily build to higher levels of energy performance. With the end of COVID still unclear, rather than wait until we can see each other again in person, we’ve decided to host a virtual Net Zero Leadership Summit this year. (And, looking on the bright side, there’s the added bonus of lower emissions from all the travel we won’t be doing.)

From Monday, November 22 to Thursday, November 25, CHBA will host the 2021 Net Zero Leadership Summit, a live interactive online event where participants will gain insight and explore the innovative, industry-leading efforts in Net Zero for both new homes and renovations. Participants will be a part of the dialogue - interacting and providing input during each session to work though the opportunities and challenges. Focused on valuable content and participant engagement, the Summit will convene leaders in the industry such as builders, renovators, energy advisors, product manufacturers, service providers, utilities, developers, as well as government, and academia from across Canada.

So that participants from across Canada can participate during business hours, and to reduce “zoom fatigue”, instead of two full days we’ve split the agenda across 4 days, with 2 sessions per day, and a half hour bio-break between them so you can refill your drink, have a bite, visit the head, go for a walk around the block, check your emails – or maybe all of the above! And because it’s being held virtually, it’s priced reasonably.

The agenda is guided by the nation-wide strategic action plan developed from the results of the last Summit, where priorities and stakeholders were identified to ensure a holistic approach is being implemented, and to support the industry with solutions and tools. Over the course of the event, you will have opportunities to engage with the other participants, speakers, panellists, and the Expo Hall exhibitors, offering you a deeper network upon which to build your Net Zero business opportunities. And, like last year, we’re going to have some hearty Canadian fun while we’re at it, eh!? (Get your cameras ready for the Great Canadian Photo Contest! The winner gets a complimentary pass to the 2022 Summit!)

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22

SESSION 1: 1:00 – 2:30 PM ET / 10:00 – 11:30 AM PT
Welcome and Opening Remarks		Chris Williams Summit Co-Chair, CHBA Net Zero Council Management Committee Chair, Vice President Avalon Master Builder [bio] Joe Geluch Summit Co-Chair, CHBA Net Zero Council Management Committee Member, President Naikoon Contracting Ltd. [bio]
KEYNOTE: Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 The Government of Canada is committed to moving to net-zero emissions by 2050. The Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act (Bill C-12), introduced in Parliament November 2020, officially passed into legislation June 2021, formalizing Canada’s target to achieve net-zero emissions by the year 2050 with a series of interim emissions reduction targets at 5-year milestones toward that goal. Please join us for this session to learn more about the plans and reports required to support accountability and transparency and help ensure Canada hits all of its milestones on the way to its goal to achieve a prosperous net-zero economy by the year the 2050.		Mollie Johnson Assistant Deputy Minister, Low Carbon Energy Sector (LCES), Natural Resources Canada [bio]
KEYNOTE: Canada's Net Zero Future - Finding Our way In The Global Transition This comprehensive report from the Canadian Institute for Climate Choices explores over 60 pathways Canada could take to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and identifies critical choices that emerge along the way. Canada can not only achieve net zero, the report finds it can capitalize on unique advantages by doing so. However, success hinges on governments and businesses decisively scaling up solutions available today, while skillfully navigating unavoidable uncertainty. This presentation will unpack what achieving net zero would mean for Canada, as well as implications for the buildings sector.		Jason Dion Mitigation Research Director, Canadian Institute for Climate Choices [bio]
SESSION 2: 3:00 – 4:30 PM ET / 12:00 – 1:30 PM PT
How Circular Economy Principles and Practices Can Help Achieve the Targets The circular economy model presents new economic and employment opportunities while simultaneously creating more resilient communities, businesses, and supply chains, improving competitiveness and affordability, spurring innovation, and attracting new investment that can support economic recovery. This presentation will provide information and insights sourced from an initial assessment of the current state of the circular built environment landscape and market readiness in Canada in line with global trends and circular economy principles and practices.		Paul Shorthouse Managing Director, Circular Economy Leadership Canada [bio]
New Study Results On Embodied Carbon in Materials For those of you who attended the last Summit, Chris provided a very informative presentation on the work he has been doing on the impact of embodied carbon in materials. His presentation was so well received that we invited him back to provide an update on his work, specifically the results of a new study that he completed for NRCan this year. Join us to learn about the main takeaways from this study, including what the material carbon emissions “range” is, how the material carbon emissions could be brought to zero or even be negative (net carbon storing) using conventional, code-compliant materials, and how reducing material emissions by one "tier" has a much larger impact on overall emissions than increasing energy efficiency by one tier in the NBC.		Chris Magwood Executive Director, The Endeavour Centre & Builders for Climate Action [bio]
CHBA Action on Climate Change: Net Zero, Resiliency, and More As the voice of Canada's residential construction industry with a membership of some 9,000 companies, the CHBA supports innovation in our industry with the goal of creating a market advantage for CHBA builder and renovator members pursuing voluntary Net Zero Energy performance, while also emphasizing affordability and other industry concerns as together we seek to address climate change goals. The work of the CHBA Net Zero Council and CHBA’s other committees and councils is helping to meet the housing aspirations of Canadians and renew Canadian leadership in high performance housing, while also addressing related industry challenges. Join this session to learn more about CHBA’s efforts in this space – from Building Codes and the Net Zero Home Labelling Program to Resiliency – and what’s needed for CHBA to continue to innovate and lead the industry towards Canada’s goals.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24

SESSION 1: 1:00 – 2:30 PM ET / 10:00 – 11:30 AM PT
Consumer Marketing Selling Net Zero: What do you need to communicate and how do you communicate Net Zero Homes to build consumer awareness, develop an understanding of their value, and to stimulate demand? In this session you will gain insight into what messaging has been successfully used in consumer sales, marketing and communication efforts including via social media, by the CHBA as well as by Net Zero Builders. You’ll learn what tools and resources are available as well as the results of the CHBA 2021 Home Buyer Preference Survey. We’ll also unveil the new Marketing & Communications training module to compliment the Net Zero Sales Training course.		Natasha Rombough Director, Marketing & Communications, CHBA [bio]
SESSION 2: 3:00 – 4:30 PM ET / 12:00 – 1:30 PM PT
Industry Education Voluntary energy efficiency programs have always played an important role in informing the path of residential building codes in Canada. There has been a very consistent pattern of the codes following behind the voluntary programs, allowing the industry to “work out the kinks”, and instilling confidence in an approach before moving forward with code regulation. Currently, the innovators and early adopters are the holders of the most current knowledge. To be able to cross the “chasm” to the early majority we must disseminate this knowledge, shortening the learning curve and paving the way for the mass market. The challenge is to effectively apply what we already know and what we continue to learn, “en masse”. Join us for this session to learn what initiatives are bridging the knowledge gap and accelerating the industry's capacity to capitalize on Net Zero. Our panel will present and discuss the potential challenges and opportunities and will engage the audience in the dialogue. • Sonja Winkelmann will speak to the formal Net Zero Training opportunities, strategies to increase uptake, and the role of webinars. • Andy Oding will highlight the value of the Integrated Design Process (IDP) for shortening the learning curve. • Patric Langevin will provide an overview of upcoming LEEP/CHBA collaborations and will talk about the LEEP guides and tools that builders can use to get on the path to Net Zero/Ready.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25

SESSION 1: 1:00 – 2:30 PM ET / 10:00 – 11:30 AM PT
New Perspectives On Old Homes Homes in Canada built between 1960 and 1977 consume an average of 342 GJ/year. Compared to new homes that consume an average of 105 GJ/year, that’s a big gap. Now imagine the opportunity to bring that down even further, to 45 GJ/year with a Net Zero Ready renovation. Older homes provide a significant opportunity to reduce energy consumption and GHGs. Are consumers even willing and financially able to do such a considerable deep energy retrofit? And how are deep energy retrofit programs being designed for renovators needs? Join this session to learn about the results of the Net Zero Reno Pilot, and hear about some unique projects and efforts in this space. • Sonja Winkelmann will speak to some of the key learnings from the CHBA Net Zero Reno Pilot, the work with the Appraisal Institute of Canada, and how to leverage the current incentives and financing opportunities. • Lisa Dockman will share the City of Edmonton’s innovative approach to rebate (Home Energy Retrofit Accelerator) and PACE financing (Clean Energy Improvement Program) programs that are designed to support homeowners on their renovation pathway to net zero. • Patric Langevin will talk about how LEEP is working with industry in BC to tackle retrofits, and Joe Geluch will discuss how panelization presents an opportunity for low carbon deep energy renovations. • Adam Corneil will detail his success with (and the opportunity in) deconstruction and reclamation.

SESSION 2: 3:00 – 4:30 PM ET / 12:00 – 1:30 PM PT
Resilience VS. Survivability; What Do Net Zero Homes Really do? The term resilience is increasingly being used in our industry. What does it really mean and do Net Zero Homes address it? What about the new concept of survivability? What does it have to do with resilience… if anything? Join us for this session to learn the difference between resilience, passive and active survivability, some of the solutions, and what one leading builder is doing to innovate in this space. • Frank Lohman will explain how key resilience aspects such as fire, flood, wind and hail are being addressed, as well as the potential insurance impacts. • Andy Oding will explain what passive survivability is and showcase an hourly analysis from the CHBA Net Zero MURB RD&D initiative. • Wil Beardmore will explain what active survivability is and provide details on how solar, storage and smart electrical panels help people shelter in place when the grid goes down. • Doug Tarry will highlight some of the innovative projects they’re working on in this space.
