Is There Energy Advisor Capacity in Your region to Support the BC Energy Step Code?
CHBA BC
CHBA BC has launched a new online training program for new Energy Advisor students.
Description:
An Energy Advisor is trained to provide builders, renovators and homeowners guidance and direction on ways one can improve and measure the energy efficiency of a home. There are many labelling programs available for residential construction. A CHBA BC Energy Advisor is licensed to deliver the EnerGuide Rating System for New Homes.
The EnerGuide label is often used in partnership with other labelling programs such as ENERGY STAR®, BUILT GREEN®; and the CHBA Net Zero Home Labelling Program. This Stage 1 workshop provides training on the use of the HOT2000 software which is used to model new house plans within the EnerGuide for New Houses, ENERGY STAR, and Net Zero certification programs. The course covers the responsibilities of a plan evaluator, who performs HOT2000 energy analysis of house plans, playing a key role in the quality assurance process for labelling EnerGuide, ENERGY STAR and Built Green® homes. Training is also provided on the blower door test equipment and procedures.
The course covers the responsibilities of an Energy Advisor including data collection, photo requirements and modelling requirements using the software, Hot2000, resulting in an EnerGuide Rating Label. The focus of the training will be on new construction only. Practical exercises completed during training provide all participants with direct exposure to tasks they can expect to complete on the job.
Cost: $2500 + tax
Course format:
Students are required to attend four (4) half-day online training sessions.
The next set of dates for Stage 1 training are: March 5 / March 12 / April 2 / April 9
9:00 am-12:00 pm for each session
Students will be required to complete weekly assignments including the submission of training files. The course will conclude with an online final exam. A pass mark of 80% is required.

Reaching Future Performance Targets Using Fundamental Enclosure Concepts (IN-PERSON WORKSHOP — 7 CPD POINTS)
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?
- Gain hands-on experience with high-performance air and water barrier membrane installation detailing known to improve efficiency, increase durability, and reduce installation costs.
- Build the fundamental knowledge required to be successful in evaluating and implementing high-performance enclosure design demanded by current and future code requirements.
- Learn cutting-edge renewable detailing approaches that can be implemented on even today's projects.
This course will be taking place in the following cities:
February 9 — Nanaimo
February 29 — Kamloops
March 7 — Salmon Arm
April 4 — Kelowna
April 18 — Vernon
