The Evolution of Mechanical Solutions for Net Zero Envelopes

This half-day workshop focuses on mechanical and building envelope solutions for new and existing Part 3 buildings. Join a panel of industry experts as theyshare design considerations, costing and lessons learned from recent research studies and projects. Explore the role of high-performance enclosures and other demand reduction strategies to manage grid load, including:

• Electricity demand and building capacity assessments
• Heating and cooling systems and the integration of the building envelope
• Design of mechanical systems to provide occupant comfort and reduce overheating

Presented by the British Columbia Building Envelope Council (BCBEC) and BC Housing.
