In partnership with FortisBC’s BUILT BETTER program, HAVAN and CHBA Fraser Valley are presenting the final full-day session of this four-part series, A Holistic Approach to Improving Air Tightness on Tuesday, March 10 at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel in Surrey.

In Parts 1, 2 and 3 of this workshop series, participants were exposed to holistic long-term airtightness solutions for roofs, decks, above grade walls, below grade assemblies, windows and doors. In Part 4, which will be the last Part of this series, the learning lessons of the last 3 Parts will be put into test. To get the most out of this Part, it is strongly recommended that registrants have at least participated in one of the previous three Parts.

Led by Hamid Heidarali of Hamid Design Build, these highly interactive and hands-on workshops are designed to bring together builders and their teams (site staff, designers, trades, consultants). Team learning is the key to building better homes.
