Passive House Without the Price Tag – Lessons From Timbre & Harmony
ConEd Credits: AIBC 1 Core
Location: Level 2: Rooms 218/219
- Architecture
- Construction & Trades
- Engineering
- Sustainability, Carbon Management & High-Performance Buildings
Building Type: Residential: Multi-Unit
Partners: ZEIC
Learn about a six-storey non-market housing project in Vancouver that proves how Passive House performance can be achieved at costs comparable to code-minimum construction. Through concise technical presentations, speakers will unpack the strategies that made it possible: efficient massing, properly sized and zoned mechanical systems, and more. These presentations will be followed by a discussion about the administrative and project management processes that made these technical and cost-saving solutions possible. Attendees will gain candid insights about the frank, and at times tough, collaborative pre-construction work that laid the groundwork for successfully balancing cost and performance. This session will offer valuable lessons for both the non-market and market housing sectors on how to help make high-performance housing not the exception, but the standard.

Engineering Keynote – Climate-Friendly and Good for Business? In this Economy?
Location: Tradeshow Floor: BUILDEX Main Stage (Booth 843)
- Engineering
Partners: ZEIC
The consumer carbon tax is gone. CleanBC rebates have shrunk. ESG commitments are being quietly deprioritized. As concerns about affordability dominate the hearts and minds of B.C.’s building industry, virtually anything perceived to increase construction or equipment replacement cost is facing resistance – sometimes an outright backlash – regardless of the benefits that come with the project. For the building industry, this is a moment of reckoning. This Engineering Keynote asks what it takes to hold the line on energy and emissions reductions when market, political, and financial pressures are pushing the other way. You’ll hear from three of BC’s leading engineers with very different roles in the building industry, but all working for successful businesses that have deeply embedded climate priorities. They’ll be providing their candid perspectives on industry headwinds, the evolving role of the engineering profession, retrofits, what the future holds for B.C. businesses like theirs, and more.
Pre-registration for this session is required. Admission will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Domestic hot water (DHW) retrofits in multi-family buildings present a great opportunity to decarbonize an energy-intensive system with little to no tenant impact. This session compares traditional hot water sizing with modern, data-driven approaches using metering, heat pumps, storage, and demand response. Two retrofit case studies will be shared: one designed and one completed. The first used a heat pump–specific sizing tool (Ecosizer) to right-size equipment, cutting capital costs by 70% and reducing total building GHG intensity by 44%. The second features one of BC’s first CO₂ heat pump droplet systems in a 39-unit 1980s building, where added storage and smart controls enable load shifting for grid and carbon benefits. Attendees will gain practical insights into metering, right-sizing, and design best practices for cost-effective DHW electrification at scale.

Shifting to more efficient water heating is a crucial step toward reducing household carbon emissions. Water heating in homes accounts for approximately 25% of the total household energy usage in BC and contributes typically one-fifth of home GHG emissions. Starting January 2027 in Vancouver, all water heater replacements in detached homes must meet new “highest efficiency” standards, meaning electric, heat pump, or hybrid/dual fuel water heaters. In this session, attendees will hear from Vancouver-based utilities, contractors, and policy makers as they discuss how the industry is preparing for same-day replacements and a clean, energy-efficient future.

As Canada accelerates its housing build-out, many of the developers and construction companies tasked with making this happen on the ground are not just responding to policy pressures; they’re driving change from within and taking the opportunity to reduce cost and carbon at the same time. Motivated by internal sustainability goals and updated value engineering practices, project teams are proving that it’s possible to lower embodied carbon while keeping projects on budget and on schedule.
This session will explore how project teams are achieving significant carbon reductions through smarter design, material optimization, and integrated delivery. Drawing on insights from project experience in Vancouver and from findings from the Clean Energy Canada’s report Building Toward Low Cost and Carbon, the discussion will highlight real-world examples where embodied emissions were reduced by up to 40% – often at minor or no added cost.
