Overview
Proposed changes to the BC Building Code in Fall 2011 may impact the way we design, build and inspect homes. To achieve the proposed new energy performance requirements, different designs, material choices, and construction methods need to be employed. This practical seminar presents answers in easy to understand terms. Register today.
This presentation will focus on buildable solutions with market-available materials and the specifics of how to design and construct roofs, walls and basements that meet or exceed more stringent energy performance requirements. These changes will potentially impact the way homes are framed, detailed at openings and penetrations, how airtightness will be achieved, and the materials chosen for insulating and vapour diffusion control.
