Join us for the first episode of CHBA’s new webinar series called “Early Adopters,” where we pair an expert and one or more builder(s)/renovator(s) to get the theoretical and practical perspectives on a topic that goes beyond code. In this webinar, we will explore NRCan’s new LEEP Sustainable Resilient Homes Tool, which helps builders and renovators integrate climate-resilient solutions into their projects. Stefanie Coleman (NRCan) will explain how the design tool works before Mark Lindenbach from Avalon Master Builder in Calgary, AB, Kevin Jollow from Farsight Homes in Gormley, ON, and Gavin McLeod from Averra Developments in Vancouver, BC will narrate their journeys of using the tool to arrive at their recent resilient home’s projects. Together, they will guide you through the tool's powerful features and show you how you can integrate resilience into your builds, whether you want to tackle climate hazards like hail, high wind, flooding, wildfires, or extreme heat.
