Our 6th, by invitation only, BOG session will be held at a new location, details to follow! This fall, we’re adding a twist, along with three focused-but-short technical presentations on high performance building topics we’re going to try something new. Carpenter and Architect Daniel Hall will moderate an expert panel who will attempt to answer “How much more should it cost to build a green renovation?” Our four panelist will be architects Terrell Wong with Christine Lolley and sustainable builders Christopher Phillips and Steve Dennison who will share their insights on the value of sustainable building.
Our exciting line-up of speakers this fall are:
- Certified Passive House Consultant Graham Fisher will give a talk on his recently completed near-Passive House located in lovely Creemore Ontario. This un-encumbered, fresh looking high performance build has some assembly details that offer builders insights in how to simplify high performance envelope assemblies.
- CPHC and builder Ed Marion will share 3 years of energy consumption data for his carbon-free heated home in Oakville Ontario. Learn how little energy a well-designed and constructed house needs to stay superlatively comfortable.
- BlueGreen Group was instrumental in getting both Passive House energy modeling software into the newly revised SB-12. Shervin Akhavi, will introduce WUFI Passive – a 2nd generation energy simulation tool – that will arm the designer with detailed data on drying potential (hygrothermal modeling), comfort analysis (mapping indoor cold spots) and energy savings. A truly revolutionary tool for designers to optimise building design.
And a BIG Thank You to our fall 2016 event sponsors!
