One Week Left to Register for Reaching Future Performance Targets in Squamish
CHBA BC
Does the mindset for residential construction today correlate with the performance targets of tomorrow ... simply put ... No! High-performance residential buildings need to be highly durable, but what type of enclosure assemblies will meet future energy demand requirements? What are the renewable details associated with typical 15-20-year building enclosure assets (e.g., deck/balcony membranes and sloped roof systems)? How can you gain experience with new high-performance building performance details before taking them on during your next project?
Join the Canadian Home Builders' Association and RDH Building Science in Squamish to answer these questions and more during this hands-on Part 9 residential builder training event. Registration will close on Friday, September 8.
Date: Thursday, September 14
Time: 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Location: Brennan Park Recreation Centre, Squamish
This course is approved for 7 CPD points. If you are interested in bringing more staff to the event, group rates are available. Please note that there are a limited number of hands-on spots available for these sessions.

Carrot Or Stick? How the Feds Could Push Cities To Build More Homes
Global News
From local zoning to community consultations, there are plenty of ways cities are hitting the brakes on residential construction, even as Canada faces a significant housing shortage.
According to the Canadian Home Builders' Association, average municipal approval timelines for housing projects in 2022 spanned from three months to nearly three years, depending on the city.
That's why encouraging municipalities to build more homes, more quickly, is becoming a major focus of federal housing policy, as well as the politics around it.
The $4-billion Housing Accelerator Fund launched in June is a prime example of how the federal government plans to influence change at the municipal level.
