Join us for an upcoming event as we learn and grow together.
Christian Cianfrone, Principal and Building Energy Specialist, will present this course which will help participants gain an understanding of compliance with the new NECB 2011 Energy Code in Alberta by addressing what performance requirements are in the code and how they will impact projects, learning from real case studies that have successfully navigated the code […]
In his Top Glass presentation, George Torok will discuss his work with manufacturers and labs to test and correct problems before construction. Downstream from construction, Morrison Hershfield has worked with building owners and legal counsel to resolve water leakage and other failures, and this presentation will include case studies from these experiences to illustrate common […]
David Kayll, Director and Senior Building Science Consultant, will be presenting this program which will review the content of CSA S478, Guideline on Durability in Buildings, consider some of the implications impacting architects’ designs and discuss opportunities for architects to reconsider their approach to building envelopes to improve their overall durability.
Stephane Hoffman, VP Facade Engineering and Senior Building Science Specialist, will be presenting on Thermal Bridging, specifically pertaining to MH's recent work on the BC Hydro Thermal Bridging Guide. This session will be part of the SLC BEC Monthly Meeting schedule, held at the AIA Utah Chapter office in Salt Lake City.
David Kayll, Building Science Specialist, and Dave Noel, Building Science Engineer, will be presenting on the recently published Building Envelope Thermal Bridging Guide, which promotes energy-efficiency in buildings by addressing the often ignored issue of thermal bridging in building envelope design. The Guide is quickly becoming a useful reference for local jurisdictions, regulatory bodies, utilities and […]
Christian Cianfrone, Building Energy Specialist and Stevan Vinci, Sustainability and Building Envelope Commissioning Specialist, will jointly present this session at this year's AIA National Convention. While sustainable building designs should be the goal of any architect, many of the advanced tools used to analyze a building's energy profile may seem just out of reach. This session […]
David Kayll, Building Science Specialist, and Dave Noel, Building Science Engineer The National Energy Code for Buildings 2011 (NECB) is being adopted across the country as a standard approach for designing buildings to meet minimum energy targets. The use of the Code and how it integrates with Building Code and jurisdictional regulations will be discussed. […]
Matthew Pel, Building Science Consultant, will be presenting Drainage Capabilities and Heat Loss of Different Inverted Roof Assemblies at this year's BC Building Envelope Council Conference & Annual General Meeting. Energy use in buildings throughout BC and Canada has attracted significant attention over the past decade. In BC, rainwater management is a critical aspect of designing a […]
Mark Lawton, Senior Building Science Specialist, will be presenting on Thermal Bridges at the Deep Energy Retrofit of Buildings Forum. The Forum will focus on Technical and Business Strategies. When buildings are renovated the energetic targets are usually kept to the minimum requirements resulting in a reduction of energy use in typical retrofit projects between […]
Stevan Vinci, Senior Sustainability/Building Science Consultant and Building Envelope Commissioning Practice lead, will be presenting Building Envelope Commissioning at this month's BEC Houston meeting. With the current and upcoming release of new local and state energy codes across the US, new aggressive energy efficiency targets are being included. These inclusions require designers and contractors to deliver […]
