This presentation addresses the question of how we develop public policies to improve energy efficiency while protecting and enhancing tenant rights. Improving the energy efficiency in rental units is a policy goal beset by tensions and fears of unintended consequences.
RDH has been leading deep retrofit work on existing buildings for 25 years. Sarah Gray will share case studies that showcase how we use lessons learned to move the industry forward.
During this session, Emma Hill and Brendan McEwan of Dunsky will present a rationale for EV-ready requirements in non-residential buildings.
A Policy System for Continuous Improvement shows how governments across the country can set strong regulations, while also empowering industry to thrive on its way to net-zero.
Every house needs to breathe, hence builders have to allow a certain amount of infiltration or even better provide a mechanical ventilation system that brings in fresh air.
However, as the house gets older it becomes leakier.
Listeners would be quite aware of the fact that the current methodology used to quantify energy losses associated with air leaks in a house is through HOT2000 only. The whole house is modelled with the software, then blower door tests are conducted and the results processed through HOT2000 to generate an Energuide report which also contains infiltration losses.
Efficiency Canada has released a new guide for municipalities. Kevin will walk through what municipalities need to know about net zero emissions building codes, to prepare for the 2025 net zero emissions building code. Everyone is welcome, though this will be particularly powerful for municipal staff and elected officials. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of the tools and information you need to lead the implementation of net zero emissions building codes.
