The team at EVNA Engineering are committed to building a better future with better buildings.Our team is made up of engineering experts on high performance buildings. High performance buildings are our passion. Energy Modelling, Energy Conservation, Clean Energy, Renewable Ready, Net Zero, Carbon Neutral: We are here for it!! As a customer driven organization, we support high performance buildings through best practices, purposeful innovation and consortium collaboration.At EVNA Engineering, we want everyone to feel heard, respected and valued. Our culture aspiration as a company is to become more self-aware, more curious about each other, with more inspiring and empowering leaders. It starts with listening. Taking time to listen to someone is a powerful act of inclusion; it shows that you are curious about them, it creates an opportunity to learn something new, it says: “I hear you. I value you. You matter.”Our business needs diverse people working in an inclusive environment in order to spark more innovation, improve our productivity, and be sustainable. Our employees expect the same to enable their personal and professional growth, and increase their impact in the world.Our team takes pride in this mission by living it on a daily basis!

As a not-for-profit organization, Sustainable Buildings Canada (SBC) is a collective of leading sustainability building experts dedicated to helping the industry achieve higher levels of (environmental) performance in both new and retrofit projects.For 20 years, SBC has been delivering integrated design workshop and training sessions to help the building industry create more comprehensive, robust, and environmentally sustainable designs. The integrated design process (IDP) is a collaborative process that focuses on the design, construction, operation, and occupancy of a building over its complete life cycle, identifying ways to achieve greater environmental performance as its key outcome. SBC is an event-based organization – bringing together international sustainability thought leaders and offering attendees access to best-in-class techniques that are practical and cost effective. SBC's programs are often subsidized by like-minded industry partners such as Enbridge, Natural Resources Canada and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and we continuously explore ways to broaden our reach and partnerships

This course is a part of the damage insurance program leading to an AEC in Damage Insurance. The course gives the student a fundamental understanding of the different building types constructed in the province and the various mechanical systems required to operate these buildings. With this understanding, the student will be better equipped to navigate provincial and national building and safety codes, in order to identify any non-compliance issues with the building(s) their client(s) would like to insure. The concepts learned in this course will permit the student to better identify risks in a building, so that they may competently recommend preventative measures to their clients, which will in turn mitigate the possibility of a disaster occurring.
