LEEP Technology Forum Description – September 26 - Kelowna

Codes and the way we build homes are changing; achieving higher performance levels, including net zero, requires new technologies and new design strategies. As provinces harmonize with the National Building Code, there are many questions that builders have around best practices and the building science related to the next frontier of energy efficiency and emissions. LEEP Technology Forums are designed to provide builders with the critical information they require to reduce risk, innovate, and manage their time and cost investments.
