Energy efficiency is often perceived as expensive, complex, or out of reach for community housing providers. But what if many of those assumptions are misconceptions?
Join us for a focused and practical one-hour webinar exploring the realities behind energy performance in community housing. Designed for housing providers, asset managers, and sector leaders across Canada, this session will unpack common myths about energy efficiency and demonstrate how environmentally responsible solutions can also be economically viable.
As a part of the Centre knowledge sharing series, this webinar will explore real-world examples from the community housing sector. Our experts will highlight practical strategies that strengthen building performance while protecting long-term financial sustainability. The session will explore passive and resilient design approaches, on-site energy generation options, and the role of recognized building standards (Net Zero, Passivhaus, etc.).
Participants will also learn more about the Regional Energy Coach (REC) program, a national support initiative that helps community housing organizations navigate energy planning, funding opportunities, and implementation strategies.
Whether you are planning a retrofit, considering new development, or seeking to improve asset management practices, this webinar will provide clarity, credible tools, and actionable insights to support informed decision-making.
Note: This webinar will be offered in English and French thanks to simultaneous interpretation.
