10 Common Missteps for Reduced Mercury in Lamps - IDc1

DURATION: 1 hour

Join CaGBC's own Marnie Fletcher to find out how many new construction projects are targeting LEED Canada EB:O&M 2009 MRc4 (Sustainable Purchasing: Reduced Mercury in Lamps) as an Innovation in Design strategy for their projects. This session focuses on correctly applying an existing building's operation strategy to a new construction project, including the requirements of CIR 991, and will touch on the top 10 misconceptions. It will also discuss documentation errors seen in teams attempting this strategy.

After this course you will be able to:
- Apply an operations strategy to a design and construction certification to achieve an IDc1 credit
- Read manufacturer documentation and identify the appropriate bulb criteria needed for compliance with the LEED Canada EB:O&M 2009 MRc4 requirements
- Understand the most common documentation errors reviewers are seeing when project teams attempt this strategy
- Present the correct supporting documentation and complete LEED letter template needed to achieve an IDc1 point for reduced mercury in lamps.

A Road Map to Net-Zero Carbon for Campuses

DURATION: 1 hour

DIALOG and RWDI have developed a holistic methodology to create net-zero energy campus "road maps". The method starts with a campus' reported carbon footprint to establish a baseline, and then tests the relative benefit of implementing low-carbon strategies overtime to allow realistic future-casting and target setting.

This session will describe the elements of the road-map, as well as identify what campus projects should do to meet their net-zero energy goals. The presenters will discuss next-level energy management metrics and key strategies that can drastically reduce traditional energy use - all while being transparent to stakeholders. Numerous examples will be used to illustrate real word examples of low carbon campus planning in action.

This session will be of interest to architects, operators, planners and designers with a focus on higher education, healthcare, public and/or corporate campuses that are strategically planning to leverage climate action funding.

This course is delivered by Craig Applegath of DIALOG and Mike Williams of RWDI.

A Roadmap for Large Building Retrofits in Canada

DURATION: 1 hour

This course will discuss a new report released recently that delivers a detailed roadmap for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from large buildings like office towers, recreation centres, hospitals, arenas and schools across the country. CaGBC’s A Roadmap for Retrofits in Canada demonstrates the critical role that existing buildings play in realizing Canada’s low carbon future.

As part of this course, participants will learn about how large buildings can contribute to achieving a reduction in GHG emissions of at least 30 percent, with the potential to reach 51 percent by 2030. The instructor will also discuss what way the type, size, and age of large buildings, along with energy sources and the carbon intensity of regional electrical grids in Canada, can affect energy efficiency and carbon emissions. Finally, participants will get to hear about provincially-specific retrofit pathways that include a combination of recommissioning, deep retrofits, renewable energy, and fuel switching actions.

This course is delivered by Akua Schatz, Director of Advocacy and Development at the CaGBC and Eric Chisolm of WSP.

Applying the NECB 2017 - Alberta and Saskatchewan

DURATION: 3 hours

Complying with the NECB 2017 energy code is now a requirement in Alberta and Saskatchewan and there are many questions around what performance requirements are actually in the code and how it will impact your project. Will we need to significantly change the way we design and build buildings in Alberta and Saskatchewan? Does the NECB mean all new buildings have to have less than 30% windows? How do the new thermal bridging requirements work? My project uses a construction type that cannot meet the high R-value requirements; will I still be able to meet code? These and many other questions will be answered in this eye-opening course, where the main objective is to empower designers, owners, developers and code officials to navigate and implement the NECB with more confidence.

This course will highlight the key performance characteristics in NECB 2017 from envelope to mechanical to lighting. It will also outline the flexibility requirements in the code that allow for design trade-offs in instances where requirements may be onerous for certain projects. Participants will learn from about NECB in the context of Alberta and Saskatchewan, ranging from prescriptive compliance to energy modeling for the performance path.

This course is delivered by Alex Blue of Morrison Hershfield.

Building Strong Market Infrastructure for Canada's Retrofit

DURATION: 1 hour

CaGBC’s research demonstrates that national targets can only be reached by reducing the emissions of the millions of square feet of existing institutional, commercial, and residential buildings across the country. Yet, while green building approaches, practices, and technologies are being widely adopted for new buildings, there is an underinvestment in the retrofit of Canada’s existing building stock to drive energy and GHG reductions. Correcting this underinvestment requires the development of a strong retrofit economy where the market takes the lead in transforming Canada’s built environment to help fight climate change and create new economic opportunities for Canadians.

This session distills information from a recent report and sets out a series of comprehensive and specific actions for governments and, more importantly, for industry to build one of the world’s most robust and dynamic retrofit economies by 2030.

This course will be delivered by Akua Schatz. Akua is the Senior Director of Advocacy and Market Development at the Canada Green Building Council.
