**Multiple Dates**
Join us for an engaging and informative “town hall” style builder workshops, focused on the advantages of building to the ENERGY STAR®® for New Homes (ESNH) standard.
Led by industry expert and consultant, Gord Cooke, this event is set up to help the local building industry find a direct path between building code changes, high-performance buildings, and municipal sustainability requirements.
What to Expect
This is a NO COST half-day (4 hour) forum with expert presentations, experiential panels, and an opportunity for Q&A with the industry experts. Learn how building to ENERGY STAR®® can help you stay ahead of building code changes and hear from an Energy Advisor from A&J Energy Consultants and one of our local builders about their experience in adopting ESNH as a standard building practice and how to overcome barriers and challenges to achieve success.
