Presented By: Medley Speaker: Jacob Komar - Principal, Revolve Engineering Inc. The push for net-zero buildings often centers on a passive-first approach—think super-insulated walls, triple-pane windows, and airtight construction. But this method hits a wall: diminishing returns that make further gains increasingly expensive, complex, and difficult to scale. Builders, owners, and municipalities have long recognized […]
Join Alberta Ecotrust Foundation | ENBIX as we explore Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) for builders. Ground Source Heat Pumps are super efficient heating and cooling devices offering excellent comfort, performance, and very low operating costs. Ground Source Heat pump systems also present special challenges for builders. They require specialized design knowledge, installation of ground […]
Join Alberta Ecotrust Foundation | ENBIX for “Building Envelope Fundamentals”. This workshop will explore the basics of the building envelope. The building envelope covers all of the major components that separate the outside from the inside, these include walls, basements, windows, and ceiling. Building envelopes perform several different functions including air barriers, vapor barrier, thermal […]

Join Retrofit Canada and the Smart Sustainable Resilient Infrastructure Association (SSRIA) for a free webinar featuring two leaders from Alberta’s retrofit movement: Adam Larson of Zu House and Joe Hopkins of HSS Design Build. Adam and Joe will each present a deep retrofit case study, sharing their technical approaches, lessons learned, and insights from the […]
Duct capacity is often a limiting factor in sizing retrofit heat pumps, and contractors often size heat pumps based on the existing air conditioner, resulting in under-sized equipment. A simple 15-minute test can provide definitive air flow capacity of a duct system, contributing to a proper sized heat pump and avoiding poor system performance—such as […]
