Presented by FortisBC with patron sponsor BC Housing and Education Partner BC Hydro , HAVAN's Better Performance Homebuilding in the Real World with Mark LaLiberte of Construction Instruction (co-founded with popular speaker, Gord Cooke in Ontario) will provide attendees with real-world examples and practical solutions to build higher performance homes (Step Code 3 and beyond).

Don't miss the opportunity to learn from Mark. His ability to analyze complex issues and deliver practical, cost-effective solutions in this interactive session is a must-attend for anyone in the homebuilding industry. Topics covered include air barriers, integrated design, HVAC and mechanical systems, indoor air quality, and team knowledge-sharing.

Not a builder? If you have a role in building a home, whether it is design, supply, service or consultation, you need to understand how your contributions help (or hinder) the success of a higher performance home. Be proactive and understand what the builder needs to know so you can enhance your services to builder clients.

CERTIFIED PASSIVE HOUSE TOUR

with NICK BRAY ARCHITECTURE

PART 2: PRE-DRYWALL

Two dates:

Friday, November 8 | 12 - 4 pm*

Saturday, November 9 | 12 - 4 pm*

Organized tours each hour, on the hour. Max 30 per tour.

Site Tour: 465 East 18 Avenue, Vancouver

Nick Bray Architecture is designing and with his project partners, building a high-performance, innovative and sustainable Certified Passive House. One of the many interesting aspects of the project is the modest size of the home, built on an accessible budget.

The project uses and tests innovative materials and technologies to overcome the many challenges it faces, including an integrated piling/shoring system, ICF foundations, HELIX concrete additive, SIPs panels, new eco-friendly spray-on membranes, fire-shutters etc. The challenges include:

Building on a narrow 25' wide lot [implications on PH modeling and fire spread]
Building in a peat bog / high water-table, requiring an extensive piling/shoring/ tanking system
Building to be earthquake resistant
Designing for flexibility and space efficiency [using a split level design to fit 5 double bedrooms and 5 bathrooms into a 2,250sf house]
Building for longevity [100 years +]
Designing to generate renewable energy.

As a follow-up to the June 4th tour at the framing stage, now you will have the opportunity to see the project during construction, just prior to drywall installation, showcasing the envelope assemblies and all roughed-in services.
