Back to homebuilding basics: Advice from the tech experts
Technology experts from the Greater Vancouver Home Builders' Association (GVHBA), in partnership with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, (CMHC), present the What’s New in Homebuilding, a workshop for people contemplating having a custom home built for them, three times a year.
GVHBA Technical Committee member Richard Kadulski, an award-winning architect and proponent of leading-edge housing technology, says the workshop team highlights the latest innovations in construction technology, design, indoor air quality and green initiatives.
“It is important to understand how your home works as a system – materials, construction techniques, ventilation -- so you can make better-informed choices for your family and the environment when building your next home,” said Kadulski.
Workshop topics include:
o Principles of durable building envelope construction
o Healthy housing tips for superior indoor air quality
o Ventilation systems
o Energy-efficient and green construction practices
o How energy choices affect costs
Cost is $75 + GST per person or $130 + GST per couple, and includes lunch, coffee breaks, and a wealth of printed material on newly developed products and services.
The next seminar will be scheduled in June 2010. If you wish to be contacted for a future seminar, please e-mail (click here) or call GVHBA at 778-565-4288.
