SUMMARY:Large Building Airtightness Testing Training (280) Toronto ON - MAY 2026
DESCRIPTION:This in-person training course provides airtightness field testers and designers with the knowledge and practical skills required to plan\, execute\, and report on large building airtightness tests in compliance with high-performance building standards and codes. \nParticipants will gain expertise in test standards\, site preparation\, equipment operation and maintenance\, data analysis\, and reporting practices. The program is designed to address critical knowledge and capacity gaps in the Canadian building sector\, enabling professionals to improve verification processes and ensure buildings meet stringent energy and performance targets. \nSupported by the Codes Acceleration Fund from Natural Resources Canada\, and developed in collaboration with RRC Polytech\, this course combines hands-on learning with technical guidance to empower field testers and designers to perform airtightness testing with confidence and accuracy. \nLocation: University of Toronto\, Galbraith Building\, Room GB303\, 35 St George St\, Toronto\, ON M5S 1A4 \nCampus map can be found here  \nGalbraith room map can be found here

SUMMARY:A Pattern Language from Passive House (320) ONLINE - MAY 2026
DESCRIPTION:“A Pattern Language from Passive House” is an interactive workshop that teaches cost-effective planning and design of affordable\, low-emission\, mid-rise\, multi-unit\, wood-framed housing. \nThis virtual live four-part workshop presents design problems common to multi-unit buildings\, followed by solutions that have worked in previous high-performance projects. These solutions are organized into “patterns” using a format adapted from A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander (et al). \nThe patterns presented in this workshop are drawn from the hundreds of affordable multi-unit buildings constructed to the Passive House standard worldwide\, because this is the largest cohort of affordable\, low-emission\, mid-rise\, multi-unit housing. While these solutions are taken from Passive House buildings\, they are applicable for residential building design to meet Step 4 of the BC Energy Step Code\, as well as multi-unit buildings aiming for similar low-TEDI or not-zero energy standards. Likewise\, while this workshop focuses on affordable housing\, the patterns apply equally to market- and luxury-housing projects. \nLearning Outcomes\nBy the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the rationale for applying Passive House principles to mid-rise\, multi-unit residential buildings\, including their relevance to affordable housing and high-performance codes.\nIdentify architectural and design patterns that improve building performance\, comfort\, and cost-effectiveness across four key domains: form\, mitigation\, adaptation\, and electrification.\nApply pattern-based design strategies to support compliance with low-TEDI\, Step 4 of the BC Energy Step Code\, and net-zero energy goals.\nEvaluate case studies of completed Passive House projects to assess real-world applications of design and construction patterns.\nIntegrate climate-responsive and future-ready design solutions into building projects\, including thermal comfort strategies\, embodied carbon reduction\, and electrification readiness.

SUMMARY:Controlling Water on Roofs and Below-Grade (200D) ONLINE - MAY 2026
DESCRIPTION:If you are a designer or builder who wants to achieve a high-performing\, durable Passive House building\, you need to understand control layers. Control layers are materials and systems of materials that are specially designed\, selected\, and detailed to control water\, vapour\, and air. They are placed throughout the building\, from the roof\, walls\, and floor to the below-grade enclosure assemblies\, details\, and interfaces. They consist of membranes and other materials typically described as air barriers\, vapour barriers\, and water-resistive barriers\, or collectively as critical barriers. \nThe design\, selection\, and placement of control layers can be challenging. Given the highly insulated nature of passive house buildings\, even small mistakes in water and air control can create problems. Simply adding insulation to traditional wall and roof assemblies is risky\, so air and vapour control practices must be adjusted to consider the assembly layers and details. Therefore\, to design and construct effective passive house buildings\, designers and builders must understand the building science behind control layers. \nPart 4 will focus on the special building enclosure control practices for roof and below-grade assemblies. \nThis 2-hour session will include 90 minutes of live web-based instruction and demonstrations plus a 30-minute Q&A.
