Net Zero for Building Officials v25-26

March 1, 2025

Description

Welcome to CHBA's Net Zero for Building Officials online, self-directed training course. It has been designed to support building officials in understanding the requirements of the CHBA Net Zero Home Labelling Program (NZHLP), how these homes differ from ones built to meet minimum building code, and how builders and energy advisors are leveraging the Net Zero Home Labelling Program to optimize building performance, cost, buildability, and scalability.

Housing in Canada has traditionally become less affordable when there are roadblocks between stakeholder groups, which can often be overcome through communication and training. By taking this course, you’ll learn more about the history and evolution of Net Zero Homes in Canada. You’ll explore technical aspects such as wall assemblies, building envelopes and ventilation systems that underlie the Net Zero Home Labelling Program (and that meet and can exceed the National Building Code 2020 9.36 Tier 4 compliance). You’ll also discover more about regulations, code, and potential by-law variance requests related to Net Zero Homes.

Course modules include: 

  • Introduction to and history of Net Zero Homes
  • Occupants and renewables
  • Advanced assemblies
  • Walls, attics and windows
  • Air quality, ventilation and airtightness
  • Net Zero regulations and incentives
  • Bylaws and zoning variances
  • Role of the energy advisor

Participants of this course are REQUIRED to have a copy of the CHBA Builders' Manual to reference the Building Science details. For those who need to know how to build homes in one of the toughest climates on earth, the CHBA Builders’ Manual is the most authoritative guide you will find for building superior energy-efficient housing. Order this bestseller at www.chba.ca/chba-builders-manual 

We anticipate that the course will take between 6 to 8 hours to complete, and we encourage you to complete the course within 1 week of starting. The course can be taken in one day or over several days within this period. Simply work your way through each module in sequence and check your knowledge with quizzes and exercises at the end of each module. Upon course completion, your course certificate will be available for download in the CHBA Absorb platform. 

This course has been endorsed by the Alliance of Canadian Building Officials' Associations (ACBOA). Note: This course is seeking accreditation for CPD points by provincial building official associations.
