From Plans to Performance: Integrated Design for High-Performance Homes

The Community Energy Association accelerates bold action by local governments and Indigenous communities related to climate and energy. CEA grew from a committee established by the Government of BC and the Union of BC Municipalities in the 1990s and was incorporated as a non-profit in 2003.Today, CEA’s members and staff live in communities large and small and bring their collective expertise, experiences, commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, and passion to help lower local emissions and build healthy, resilient communities.

Discover how Integrated Design Planning supports collaboration, cost savings, and reliable results in new build and retrofit projects.

Hidden Acres Farm & Treehouse Resort

Two steps forward, no steps back.Imagine working on a retrofit or new build project where: everyone works well as a team, decisions are made early to achieve the best results, costs are efficient, and there are no call backs?It’s not a dream, it’s the result of Integrated Design Planning (IDP).Builders, energy advisors, general contractors, trades, housing managers and all other building professionals: learn how you can bring IDP to your business, so you can work efficiently and save money over the life of the project.As an example, we will demonstrate how IDP can help you right-size HVAC mechanical systems — so your project’s heating performance will be just where it needs to be for a cold climate without overrunning costs. <h4>Event Fees</h4>As non-profit partner organizations, we appreciate your support in helping to cover food and venue costs, with your paid registration fee.However, we do recognize that cost can be a barrier for many individuals and businesses.
