Home Performance Pro Hub
The Home Performance Pro Hub is an online network designed for home performance energy advisors, HVAC contractors, insulators, building renovators, and other professionals in the sector. This platform fosters practitioner relationships, offers a collaborative learning space, and cultivates applied knowledge through a fully asynchronous model.
Key Features:
- Members can access a wealth of resources and past webinar recordings through our online platform. This allows for flexible, on-demand learning tailored to individual schedules.

Mandatory Building Performance Standards Knowledge Network
The Mandatory Building Performance Standards (MBPS) knowledge network brings together a diverse group of professionals, experts, policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders to share knowledge, collaborate, and collectively advance their understanding of MBPS. Ultimately, the shared knowledge will help to improve energy efficiency, reduce GHG emissions, and promote sustainable operational practices in existing buildings through the adoption of MBPS in Canada.
By facilitating learning and the exchange of best practices, the group will:
- identify and understand the prerequisites for MBPS and complementary policies;
- explore the barriers hindering MBPS adoption and implementation and;
- brainstorm strategies to overcome these obstacles.
