I highly recommend Zero Energy Buildings
“In early 2021, I visited the BCIT ZEB training facility and after meeting Alex and learning about the course, it was an easy decision to add it to our professional development program at Bird in Vancouver. Nearly forty team members, myself included, completed the course in the summer of 2021. We gained critical knowledge and a better understanding of Passive House Design and Certification. The content, the instructors, and delivery were exceptional and applicable to our business as we continue to work on projects that drive sustainability and deliver on our ESG strategy. I highly recommend this program for all design and construction professionals as it will prepare you for future code requirements and help develop strategies to reduce the carbon impact of buildings in our communities. Thank you to everyone at BCIT ZEB!”
