    A Deep Retrofit in West Vancouver – A 1929 Home Leaps Ahead to 2032. The ZEBx Decarb Lunch, Sep 25, 2024

    Season 4, Episode 9 Recorded on Sep 25, 2024 Overview We all know that deep retrofits of detached homes are rare. They are also essential in decarbonizing the built environment.   This is why we’re excited to showcase this West Vancouver home in our second Decarb Lunch of September 2024. The building, originally constructed in 1929, has been transformed to such a degree that if it were newly built today, it would nearly meet the highest standards of the Zero Carbon and Energy Step Codes. It has achieved this by disconnecting from the gas grid, adding a high-performance building envelope and installing an electric heat pump for both heating and cooling.  Listen in to hear more about the challenges and successes of this unique project.   Thanks to the financial support of ⁠⁠BC Hydro⁠⁠ and the ⁠⁠City of Vancouver⁠⁠, this event was free of charge.

    Decarbonizing a Historic Vancouver Skyscraper – The Business Case. The ZEBx Decarb Lunch, Sep 16, 2024

    Season 4, Episode 8 Recorded on Sep 16, 2024 Overview Building a strong business case for decarbonizing a commercial property requires a solid grasp of project costs, decarbonization strategies and cost recovery opportunities. In BC, where we have a very low-carbon electrical supply, a strong business case for serious emissions reductions depends on the right balance between electrification and energy conservation measures.   In the first Decarb Lunch after the 2024 summer break, SES Consulting and KingSett Capital dive into the basics of building a strong business case for decarbonization and how it’s being applied to a commercial building retrofit in Vancouver. Thanks to the financial support of ⁠BC Hydro⁠ and the ⁠City of Vancouver⁠, this event was free of charge.

    Resilient Code Updates – Cooling for Part 9 Homes. The ZEBx Decarb Lunch, May 15, 2024

    Season 4, Episode 4 Recorded on May 15, 2024 Overview The 2021 western heat dome highlighted the absence of measures in BC’s building safety standards to reduce the risk of overheating. With the latest code update, things are changing. For new Part 9 buildings, “an indoor air temperature of not more than 26°C in at least one living space in each dwelling unit” is now required by the BC Building Code. But what does this mean in practice? ZEBx and the Building and Safety Standards Branch (BSSB) talked through and discussed the intentions of the regulation, its limitations, how to calculate/prove the 26C refuge room interior temperature. There were presentations and Q&A, as well as the shared resource of BSSB’s recent Information Bulletin. Thanks to the financial support of BC Hydro and the City of Vancouver, this event was free of charge.
