CHBA Net Zero Leadership Summit 2024 Brings Together Canada's Industry Leaders
CHBA BC
This week, the Net Zero community from across the country gathered in Richmond for the CHBA Net Zero Leadership Summit 2024.
Focused on valuable content and participant engagement, the Summit brought together leaders in the industry such as builders, renovators, energy advisors, product manufacturers, service providers, utilities, and developers, as well as government, and academia from across Canada. Just over 140 participants from coast to coast — from Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia were represented!
One of the Summit's highlights was a live auction on Tuesday night where professionals auctioned their time and expertise to the highest bidder. All proceeds are going directly to consumer marketing for the Net Zero program.
The summit wrapped up with a tour of two CHBA BC member projects; StreetSide Developments' Cascadia townhouse project in Langley, and GlenMark Homes, EcoVolt project, an old house hand deconstructed to save materials wherever possible.
