The Alberta Ecotrust Getting to Zero Research Project is working with the industry to reduce emissions by turning real-world data from low or zero-emissions buildings into insights that can be applied across Alberta. As part of this research project, Alberta Ecotrust and NRCan are offering MCE2 training to those who require training in Material Carbon […]
Note, this course was previously planned to run September 22 - October 13, 2026. Due to unforeseen circumstances, it has been delayed by one week. This course provides a technical introduction to high-performance commercial building systems in Alberta's cold, heating-dominated climate. Starting with a baseline commercial building, learners work through the choices that improve performance […]
High-performance homes don’t happen by accident. They are the result of systems working together – envelope, mechanical, electrical – designed with intention from the start. This course takes you inside those systems, giving you the technical grounding to understand how high-performance residential buildings actually perform. Intended for builders, designers, and other construction professionals, this course […]
BEAM (Building Emissions Accounting for Materials) is a tool developed by Builders for Climate Action to estimate and compare the embodied carbon of materials used in residential buildings. It supports practitioners in making lower-carbon material choices by helping them better understand the climate impacts of construction. Learn how to use BEAM directly from the team […]
Note, this course was previously planned to run October 20 - December 1, 2026. Due to unforeseen circumstances, it has been delayed by one week. Apply whole-building design principles through an integrated design process to optimize commercial building performance, coordinating envelope, HVAC, electrical, lighting, and control systems to meet energy, comfort, and operational goals. Designed […]
Apply integrated design principles to balance envelope, mechanical, and electrical systems in residential projects. Learn to sequence design decisions and select assemblies appropriate to Alberta’s climate in order to meet defined performance goals. This course is the third in SAIT’s high-performance building series. High-Performance Building Fundamentals and Technical Introduction to High-Performance Residential Buildings are both prerequisites. This course is […]
High-performance buildings aren’t a niche anymore. They are increasingly what clients ask about, what the market rewards, and what the future of construction looks like. Whether you’re motivated by business opportunity, environmental responsibility, or simply professional curiosity, this course gives you the foundation to engage with confidence. Designed for anyone in the building industry – […]
