Finish 2026 Strong with CI Live's Applied Building Science in December.

Two full days of hands-on learning, focused on how heat, air, and moisture move through real buildings, and what that means for durability, comfort, and performance on site. With Justin Wilson, Mark LaLiberte, and Sam Keefe, you’ll get field-ready building science that you can apply immediately.

What you’ll gain:
✅ Building science fundamentals you can use on-site
✅ Better understanding of durability, comfort, and performance
✅ Enclosure strategies for walls, roofs, and foundations
✅ Testing and performance metrics you can trust
✅ Practical decision-making tools for assemblies and systems

Same house. Two heat pump strategies. What can we learn?

Join Building Knowledge Canada on November 12th for a practical look at air-source vs. ground-source heat pumps using two matched home case studies in the newest Critical Canadian Building Science webinar: Same House, Different Heart: An Apples-to-Apples Look at Air-Source vs. Ground-Source Heat Pump Technology.

This isn’t a debate about which technology is "better." It’s a conversation about how real-world decisions get made, from the building envelope to installation costs, homeowner comfort, operating costs, and grid impacts.

Featuring Patrick Marion of Mattamy Homes Canada and Michael R. of Eden Energy Equipment, with Derek Cheung, P.Eng., MBA, of Building Knowledge moderating.

How can you prepare for tomorrow’s energy codes without increasing today’s construction costs?

Building Knowledge Canada is proud to partner with Sustainable Waterloo Region, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), and the GVCA for a practical, hands-on workshop exploring Ontario SB-12, evolving energy codes, and cost-effective strategies for improving home performance.

With Andrew Oding and Patric Langevin leading this session, along with Alexis Minniti, you'll get:
✔ a plain-language read on where Ontario code is going
✔ practical compliance strategies for real Ontario homes
✔ a builder-focused look at cost trade-offs
✔ a chance to pressure-test options with peers
✔ early exposure to LEEP tools
✔ clear takeaways you can use on your next project

The goal? Build better-performing homes, navigate and meet changing energy codes, and make smarter, more cost-effective decisions—without unnecessary complexity or expense.

When: October 20, 2026 | 9:00 AM–2:00 PM
Where: evolv1, Waterloo, Ontario
Cost: $25 | Lunch included

⚡ Energy Efficiency Day

Efficient homes aren’t just good for bills; they’re better for comfort, durability, and the planet. From energy modelling and airtightness to smarter design decisions, building science is key to unlocking real efficiency gains in Canadian homes.

Today we celebrate the builders, designers, and industry partners who are pushing performance forward, one efficient home at a time.

Could a robot build your next house?

At Spring Training 2026, Dr. Russell Loveridge and Tyler Bennett explored how robotics and digital fabrication are changing the future of construction. Drawing on leading research from ETH and Canadian innovation already making an impact, their session examined how emerging technologies are reshaping the way buildings are designed, manufactured, and built.

The takeaway: robotics isn't replacing builders; it's creating new opportunities to build smarter, more efficiently, and with greater precision.

For mid- and high-rise projects, enclosure and air barrier performance is everything.

Air leakage leads to higher energy use, oversized equipment, and unhappy owners, all of which can be costly.

Our Large Building Services (LBS) team helps developers validate performance early so problems don’t multiply later.

Big buildings. Big build savings potential.
