12:00 PM - 1:30 PM PST
CPL Units: 1.5

This course is tailored for design teams in British Columbia who want to lead the way in creating high-performance small-scale multi-unit housing (SSMUH).

By the end of this course, design teams will be able to: 

  • Describe how small-scale multi-unit housing (SSMUH) supports housing, climate, and energy goals in BC. 
  • Apply the principles of the Integrated Design Process (IDP) to improve coordination and performance. 
  • Design efficient, high-performance homes that are easier to build and inspect. 
  • Integrate mechanical and electrical systems into compact sites while meeting performance needs. 
  • Communicate clearly with builders and homeowners to support successful construction and ongoing performance.
