From Intimidating to Intuitive: 

Practical Thermal Bridging Tools for Better Envelope Design

A 3-hour hands-on workshop + networking reception

Learn how to design high-performance building envelopes with confidence. This focused, practical session gives architects and specifiers clear, code-aligned tools to address thermal bridging—without the complexity.

You’ll walk away knowing how to meet NECB 2025, support net-zero-ready design, and make smarter envelope decisions faster.

What you'll learn

  • Apply the BETB Guide in real projects
  • Use ThermalEnvelope.ca to assess assemblies and demonstrate code compliance
  • Compare insulation and cladding systems for performance, carbon, and durability

Why Attend

This session is practical, hands-on, and designed for immediate use in design and specification work.

What's Included

  • Expert-led instruction
  • Hands-on exercises
  • CEU credits
  • Networking, food, and refreshments
