Understanding National Building Codes & National Energy Codes of Canada
2025-11-18 08:30 - 16:30 (America/Edmonton) | Kahanoff Centre, 105 12 Ave SE,, Calgary, Alberta, T2G 1A1, Canada
This one-day training introduces participants to Canada’s National Building Code (NBC) and National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB), highlighting their role in shaping safer, more energy-efficient, and sustainable built environments. Through interactive discussions and practical examples, the training explores how these codes support the development of buildings that are not only technically sound but also culturally and environmentally responsive to the needs of Indigenous communities.

Participants will gain foundational knowledge of the codes’ structure, purpose, and application, while examining how inclusive design and energy efficiency can contribute to long-term community well-being. The session also emphasizes the importance of integrating Indigenous perspectives into building practices to ensure respectful and relevant infrastructure development.
