There are still spaces available for Permitting and Inspecting a Step 5 Project workshops. Check for available spots on their workshop pages.

Learn about high-performance, low carbon, mechanical systems and appliances, including heat pumps, heat pump domestic hot water heaters, heat recovery ventilators, and considerations when designing for and installing these systems through a case study a townhome targeting Step 5 of the BC Energy Step Code, EL-4 of the Zero Carbon Step Code, and CHBA Net Zero Energy-Ready Carbon in the Cascadia project.

Attendees will also learn how mechanical systems selection, such as air to air heat pumps, air to water heat pumps, heat pump dryers, and heat recovery ventilators, can greatly impact compliance with Upper Steps of the BC Energy Step Code and Zero Carbon Step Code.

This workshop is intended for builders, Energy Advisors, design professionals, HVAC contractors, and HVAC trades who have a stake in implementing the BC Energy Step Code. It will include lessons learned from the project and a tour of the home mid-construction. A planned mid-construction air tightness test will not be performed. An educational video of a blower door test will be available for all participants to view.

Presented by: Straiton Engineering Ltd.

The workshop is part of the Step 5 On Site Workshops Series, an educational partnership between the Township of Langley, Streetside Developments (A Qualico Company), and British Columbia Institute of Technology’s Zero Energy/Emissions Buildings Learning Centre.
