new in the green building world proved very popular at the last conference a year and a half ago. Over 20 exhibitors have signed up for the expo. Registered conference attendees will spend Saturday at two streams of workshops: one
dedicated to high efficiency renovations (many homeowners are choosing to renovate in this region), with everything from a workshop on comparing insulation options for cost vs. effectiveness to a workshop dedicated to the new fenestration specifications – North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS) for Windows, and the other stream being an ‘Alternative Building Methods and Materials’ highlighting Passive house building, and examples of Green Building in action here in the East Kootenays. There is one more event the public is invited to attend, that being the Green Home Renovations workshop from 3:30 to 5 p.m. This is a free event, but registration is required.
