Seminars

Please note, this session was cancelled.

This seminar will familiarize attendees with federal government energy-efficiency and renewable-energy initiatives, including: incentive programs for building retrofitting and renewable energy; new building design validation (in support of LEED energy-efficiency prerequisites and credit points); and training initiatives, including training in building energy simulation (EE4), retrofit analysis (RETSCreen) and energy management. Program status will be provided and advice will be offered on applying to the incentive programs. Interaction between NRCan programs and others, such as LEED New Construction, LEED Existing Building, LEED Commercial Interiors, LEED Core and Shell, as well as local Toronto programs, will be discussed.
