Join us for an insightful workshop where we delve into the transformative journey of 20 pioneering building demonstration projects funded by SSRIA from 2020-2024. These projects validated 38 innovative low-carbon technologies, offering a wealth of qualitative data and strategic recommendations. Through presentations by SSRIA and one of the demonstration project teams, discover how barriers were tackled and challenges overcome in the pursuit of net-zero goals. David Campbell of T5M Connect will be joining the conversation to share details and results from their fully electric passive house multi-family building in Edmonton.
