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.

A “How to” for Property Management

Real Estate organizations know the importance of successfully operating a healthy, comfortable and energy efficient building.

While this course focuses on offices, the information is applicable to a variety of other building types and their tenants.

This course highlights the importance of, and business case for, landlord and tenant collaboration as it relates to sustainability. Participants will be provided with effective actions and tools to develop and facilitate a tenant engagement program that ultimately fosters good tenant relationships and drives improvements in building performance.
