In November, we launched the new Builder Explorer Modelling Tool, developed in collaboration with Volta Research. This free tool is specifically designed for residential builders and designers in Alberta to support high-level, strategic decision-making as they navigate the province’s transition to a tiered energy code.
We are hosting a webinar to walk you through how to use the tool, answer any questions about when and how to use it, and provide insight into Volta Research’s work.
In addition to the walk-through, we will provide building permit data from Alberta to show where current designs stand relative to the current Part 9 energy code.
