Editor's viewpoint November 2015 You’ll read plenty of good news in this issue of Canadian Design and Construction Report. The story of the new Liberal government’s plans for infrastruc- ture spending should bring smiles to your face, even if you (po- litically) are a die hard Conservative, at least in the context of spending and business opportunities for AEC businesses throughout the country. Government funding, coupled with private investment and re- sources, should also create positive vibes within the nation’s eco- nomic development community, as we report on initiatives, projects and activities of the Economic Developers Association of Canada (EDAC) and its members. There’s also technology and environmental innovation cover- age. See the story about the BONE Structure building system and an extensive Passive House feature. Overseas, you’ll notice an article about Ireland and its recovery from a big bust in the not too distant past, reminding us that even if things can be tough for a while, resilient and resourceful busi- nesses make their way through to better times. Of course, I welcome your story ideas and suggestions for fu- ture issues. It looks like 2016 will be a happy and prosperous year. Best wishes for you and your families as the Christmas holiday season approaches.

The scale of the investment – na- tionwide doubling infrastructure ex- penses to nearly $125 billion over 10 years from $65 billion – will create mammoth sized opportunities for the industry, especially in the Liberal’s pri- ority areas of transit, green projects, and social infrastructure (including sen- ior and low income housing, and recre- ational and learning facilities.) The Liberals don’t break down how much will be spent in specific provinces and territories. Notably, when the Conservatives introduced a major infrastructure stimulus program after the late 2008/9 financial crash much of the money found its way to the National Capital Region, though the longer-range plans appear to be in- tended to distribute the wealth more widely across the province and coun- try. In the election campaign, the Liberal Party promised: “Each year over the next decade, we will steadily increase federal infrastructure investment.” The party platform – which can be implemented without hindrance with a Liberal parliamentary majority – says New infrastructure spending ($ Billions) Year Public Transit Social 2016-17 1.7 1.7 2017-18 1.7 1.7 2018-19 1.2 1.2 2019-20 1.2 1.2 2020-21 1.5 1.5 2021-22 1.8 1.8 2022-23 2.2 2.2 2023-24 2.5 2.5 2024-25 2.8 2.8 2025-26 3.2 3.2 10-year total 19.7 19.7 4 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Green 1.7 1.7 1.2 1.2 1.5 1.8 2.2 2.5 2.8 3.2 19.7 the added additional investment will be $9.5 billion a year. “This will almost double federal infrastructure invest- ment to nearly $125 billion – from $65 billion – over 10 years, which will be the largest new investment in infra- structure in Canadian history.” The Liberals also promised to de- velop bilateral agreements with the provinces (including Ontario) and terri- tories, “similar to those created for the successful gas tax transfer to cities and communities.” “We will not only significantly in- crease the sale of federal infrastructure investment; our plan will provide provinces, territories and municipalities with an unprecedented level of long- term predictability in funding as well. This will be done in full respect of provincial jurisdiction.” To add to more immediate stimulus, the government plans to double fed- eral infrastructure investment in the next two years to $10 billion per year from $5 billion. The funds will be allocated to pub- lic transit, social infrastructure and green infrastructure. For transit, the government pro- poses to more than triple federal in- vestment over the next four years and quadruple it over 10 years. Specifically, the Liberals say they will boost pub- lic transit spending by $6 billion over the next four years and almost $20 billion over 10 years. Similar allocation/increases will be provided for social infrastructure projects and what the Liberals call “green infrastructure” with priority in “affordable housing and seniors facilities, early learning and child care, and cultural and recreational infrastructure” as well as “local and wastewater facilities, climate re- silient infrastructure, clean energy and clean-up of contaminated sites to fa- cilitate new construction.” The government says it will “reform and increase the transparency of the New Building Canada Fund by provid- ing clearer project criteria and faster approval processes.” The Liberals say their government “will automatically transfer any un- committed federal infrastructure funds near the end of any fiscal year to municipalities, through a temporary top up of the Gas Tax Fund. This will ensure that no committed infrastruc- ture money is allowed to lapse but is To add to more immediate stimulus, the government plans to double federal infrastructure investment in the next two years to $10 billion per year from $5 billion. always invested in communities across the country. The government says it will estab- lish The Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) to “provide low-cost financing to build new infrastructure projects.” “This new CIB will work in partner- ship with other orders of governments and Canada’s financial community, so that the federal government can use its strong credit rating and lending au- thority to make it easier – and more af- fordable – for municipalities to finance the broad range of infrastructure proj- ects their companies need,” the Lib- eral policy statement says. “Lending from the CIB will be linked to bal- ance sheet assets, and will not re- quire any increase in the federal government’s accumulated deficit. The government says the new CIB will issue Green Bonds “and make green infrastructure projects more attractive to private investors by offering loan guarantees, reduc- ing financing costs and risks, and bundling small projects into attrac- tive offerings for investors. “The Green Bonds will fund proj- ects such as the electrification of transportation, smart grid technology and transmission lines for renewable energy, electric vehicle charging sta- tions and clean power storage. Where appropriate, the CIB will issue Green Bonds to the public so they too can in- vest in such projects.” MAKE E H HERCULES S S SLR R AN N E ESSENTIAL L M A K E R C U L E L A S S E N AIT PART T O OF F YOUR R WORKPLACE.

Here are some of the comments: Canadian Construction Association (CCA) CCA president Michael Atkinson says in published interview: “The fact they (the Liberals) are a majority gov- ernment gives them some time to put in place the people they want and get on with the job. If it had been a minor- ity situation, especially if it had been a slim minority situation, governments tend to go into re-election mode rather than sticking with their plat- forms. (The Liberals have a solid ma- jority with 184 seats in the House of Commons.) “It gives us a little more certainty that we’re going to see something rolled out,” he said. “Frankly, certainly the infrastructure programs are very important because I think it allows other levels of government to plan.” Association of Consulting Engineering Companies Canada (ACEC) “Infrastructure is an investment in social, economic and environmental quality of life,” said ACEC president John Gamble. “We need to both ex- pand and renew our infrastructure. In- frastructure is what enables our economic activity, it is what connects and grows our communities,” he said in a published report. “We are not just throwing money at the issue,” Gamble said. Contractors, investors and consulting engineers are “all looking for long-term pre- dictability so that we can make our re- spective investments in our capacities to deliver infrastructure.” Cement Association of Canada (CAC) The CAC says it is pleased that the Liberal Party has committed to na- tional leadership on climate change and to joining with the provinces and territories to put a price on carbon and reduce carbon pollution. The Liberals have committed to a $2 billion Low Carbon Economy Trust that will fund projects to help reduce carbon emissions and, appropriately, help place municipalities at the fore- front of renewed investment in green and more prosperous communities, the CAC said in a news release. “As these and other infrastructure invest- ments are made, the CAC urges the new government to make life cycle as- sessment a core tool for decision making as they seek the greatest eco- nomic, environmental and social value from investments in our built environ- ment,” said Michael McSweeney, the CAC’s president and CEO. Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) The RICS says its surveys indicate that infrastructure projects could help 6 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report drive the growth of Canadian con- struction workloads over the next 12 months. And the recent election re- sults “appear to make this even more likely, longer and stronger, based on the polling results and reaction from respondents,” it says. Canadian con- struction professionals participating in RICS’ quarter three 2015 survey (con- ducted before the election) had pre- dicted their total workloads would increase about 2.87 per cent over the coming year, with the infrastructure section foreseen as the driver of growth. Given the massive Liberal infra- structure commitments and the gov- ernment’s “willingness to run a deficit to fund them in the short term, the in- frastructure sector in Canada should be busy for years to come,” said Do- minic Leadsom with Turner and Townsend in Toronto. “For RICS and other infrastructure professionals, this provides a welcome boost and a sig- nificant opportunity to use their ex- pertise in expediting the delivery of these projects.” “This new federal spending will have a significant and positive impact on workload,” agrees Liam Murray, principal of JLM Development Facili- tators in Vancouver – and probably without the customary transitional “freeze.” “How much infrastructure spending increases, or even if it does, depended on who won the election. Historically, when there is a change in government there is invariably a pe- riod when the incoming administra- tion will evaluate the overall financial situation. This usually means a short- term spending freeze, delaying capital projects in the pipeline. However, with the big win for the Liberal Party, which ran on a platform of increased capital spending and three years of deficits to fund that spending, this is now un- likely to occur.” Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) The new government “has an un- paralleled opportunity to create re- silient communities, build a strong and diverse economy and foster healthy workplaces that support pro- ductivity,” says RAIC president Sam Oboh. “The federal government is Canada’s single largest owner of buildings and land,” he said. “As such, it has a central role in setting the high- est standards of excellence and envi- ronmental sustainability to maximize the benefits to Canadians, achieve value for money and position Canada as an international leader.” Aecon Group President and CEO Teri McKibbon says he’s looking forward to compet- ing for some of the federal govern- ment’s planned new infrastructure spending. “Obviously, it’s a competitive process,” he told the Business News Network (BNN). “So we have to be successful, we have to have the ap- propriate team in place to be able to target certain projects that we’re inter- ested in.” McKibbon says he expects Aecon will benefit fairly quickly from the new spending, especially for the com- pany’s division focusing on smaller municipal projects. “Those (business units) will re- spond fairly quickly to new investment by municipalities and access to that funding through various vehicles,” he said. “I think six to nine months is a reasonable timeframe for that type of a program to roll out and get ap- provals.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 7 Pomerleau receives two of three CanBIM national awards Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The Canada BIM Council (CanBIM) has announced the first National Can- BIM Awards, recognizing excellence in Canada’s Building Information Model- ling (BIM) community. CanBIM handed out awards in Inno- vation, Interoperability, and Best In BIM categories. Quebec based general contractor Pomerleau earned top honours in two of the three categories, taking home awards for Innovation and Best In BIM. The awards recognized Pomerleau’s work on the Place Bell Cultural and Sports Centre in Laval, P.Q., and out- standing implementation throughout design to construction on the multi- functional amphitheatre Videotron Cen- tre, also in Laval. In the Innovation Award category, Pomerleau edged out projects from Turner Fleischer Architects (Toronto) with Scanning Implementation Tech- nology, and Calgary’s GEC Architec- ture’s YYC/TCP Baggage Handling System; and for the Best In BIM award, McGill University Health Centre Glen Site from SNC Lavalin (Montreal) and DIALOG’s Brookfield Place Calgary. “All nominees demonstrated great execution of BIM,” said CanBIM presi- dent Allan Partridge. “But Pomerleau demonstrated exceptional strength in their respective award categories, as seen by our experienced evaluators. We are proud to have received so many great submissions.” Meanwhile, architecture and interior design firm DIALOG’s Calgary office took home top honours in the Interop- erability category for demonstrating ex- ceptional, seamless data transfer across software platforms on the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital proj- ect. Runners up in the Interoperability award category were GEC Architecture for YYC/TCP Baggage Handling System 8 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report and Halifax based surveying and engi- neering firm Servant, Dunbrack, McKenzie & MacDonald for the BioVec- tra Plant Renovation. “Our independent CanBIM evalua- tors represent a great cross section of the architecture, engineering, construc- tion, owner and operator industries,” said CanBIM executive director Gerry Lattmann. “They did a great job evalu- ating and selecting our outstanding nominees and winners for the inaugu- ral CanBIM Awards.” On Oct. 1, following the CanBIM Awards and AGM, Canada BIM Council hosted its Calgary regional session and technology exhibition, the third and final 2015 regional session of 2015. The presentations and roundtable discussion focused on the “Business of BIM” and how the decision to use BIM has become an important ingredi- ent in the success of the Canadian de- sign and construction community’s businesses and organizations. CanBIM’s board handed out Can- BIM Certification Certificates to a record 43 recipients, more than double the amount of the last two rounds combined. This latest round of CanBIM Certification received more than 70 ap- plications; the assessment process was both rigorous and thorough. No- tably, Turner Fleischer Architects deliv- ered more than 60 of the 70 plus applications. “It’s a great time to be a part of Can- BIM as it rapidly becomes a mature, vital and leading organization repre- senting Canada’s BIM community,” said Pietro Ferrari, chair of CanBIM’s education and research committee. “The success of the awards and the ever growing interest in the certifica- tion program are clearly an indication of this momentum. CanBIM certifica- tion will prove to be the gold standard for benchmarking BIM excellence in Canada.” The CanBIM board elected Chris- tian Proulx, an Aéroport de Québec project manager, as its newest board member. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 9 Innovative procurement through competitive dialogue: Opportunities and solving the pitfalls By Rich Yehia Special to Canadian Design and Construction Report In order to adapt to the changing needs of the marketplace, innovative procurement processes are emerging within the complex framework of the current judicial consideration of pro- curement issues. One such innovative process is “competitive dialogue” whereby a procuring authority devel- ops an outline for its project require- ments and tasks the responding proponents with developing their own unique proposals to meet the needs of the project. Proposals can take on a variety of forms with the only limitation being the project requirements. After proposals are received, there is a well-defined prescribed process to enable each pro- ponent with a viable proposal to go through a confidential negotiation process with respect to their proposal. After negotiations, the proponents then submit a best and final proposal. The proposal that best fits the need of the procurement authority is selected. While there are certainly situations where other procurement methods may be more appropriate, conceptu- ally, competitive dialogue appears to have great potential to provide a new, strategic, and innovative means for procurement in certain circumstances. However, given the limited experience with competitive dialogue in Canada, and the relatively recent application in Europe, there are risks that need to be carefully considered and managed. One significant consideration with competitive dialogue is to ensure the procurement process does not offend 10 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report legal restrictions with respect to bid shopping. Bid shopping is essentially where a tendering authority uses bids submitted primarily as a negotiating tool. At first blush, it would appear dif- ficult to reconcile the avoidance of al- legations of bid shopping with a negotiated procurement process. However, a competitive dialogue process is more nuanced and appropri- ate safeguards can be built into the in- structions to bidders to keep confidential the negotiations and bid- der information to minimize any such risk. Another consideration, at least for public sector institutions, is the appli- cable procurement directives that must be adhered to in any procurement. One imposition imposed by such directives may be the need for a procurement to include standardized evaluation crite- ria, and to adhere to the principle of transparency. Again, these concerns should be manageable in the instruc- tions to bidders with a carefully crafted selection process that identi- fies who will be involved in the selec- tion, and the criteria for determining the best value. The expectation is that different project delivery proposals will be considered objectively using pre-set criteria, which should assist to mitigate the risk of requiring a stan- dardized evaluation process. For a procurement involving differ- ing proponent methodologies or spe- cific propriety products, or a situation where the owner does not know what specific solutions are available in the marketplace to best meet its needs, a rigid traditional tendering process may not provide the flexibility for innova- tion when compared to a competitive dialogue process. However, as with any new procurement method, appro- priate legal diligence is required to en- sure a successful process. This should not be a deterrent. While there will no doubt be a period of trial and error with the competitive dialogue process before sufficient learned lessons evolve, these lessons will refine the process for the Canadian marketplace. It can be anticipated that the develop- ment of competitive dialogue in Canada can result in an additional ef- fective procurement tool.

By Richard W.R. Yasinski CFP Incorporated business owners have the option of earn- ing salary or dividends or a combination or the two. Don’t think this is exciting? As a financial planner working with business owners and their long term income plans, I know it’s not how much my clients make but what they get to keep. How would you like to keep more? There are a number of strategies and opinions on the ideal salary/dividend mix and I’ll explain mine. You can check the numbers below with this simple income calcula- tor https://simpletax.ca/calculator. I encourage you to use your own numbers and drop me a note if you have ques- tions. Assuming you earned $150,000 of salary from your in- corporated business in Ontario you would pay $48,172 of federal and provincial taxes and keep $101,172. However you would also have to contribute $2,479 to CPP personally and your corporation would contribute another $2,479 on your behalf. Your corporation would avoid paying tax on its contribu- tion so your total personal and corporate payment to CPP would be about $4,586, in effect paying for two Canada pensions but only ever being able to draw one. So in earn- ing a salary you would end up paying a total of $52,758 in taxes and CPP contributions. Each year you contribute to your CPP increases your pension – I’m still working on get- ting exactly how much it does increase your CPP but I’m finding it difficult to get this info. How you feel about paying into a Canada pension is an important consideration regarding how you divide your salary and dividends. Our Canada pension provides an in- dexed income for life – typically the only guaranteed in- come (along with Old Age Security) a business owner will 12 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report ever get. Our Canada pension also pays disability benefits and a survivor pension which may be important to some people. However, in my own incorporated practice, I find it dis- tasteful having to pay for two Canada pensions if I withdraw a salary even though I will only ever collect on one! I’m also very comfortable investing the $4,586 I would have paid into Canada pension and having the flexibility of when and how much I withdraw in retirement. So I’m not compelled to contribute to my Canada pension given it costs me twice as much and am comfortable investing those contributions. If we went to the other extreme and withdrew $150,000 of dividends (ineligible – because they are from your private corporation) the amount of tax paid would be $33,659, no CPP contributions, and you would keep $116,341. Drawing dividends allows you to keep $15,169 plus the $4,586 in CPP contributions for a total of $19,755. Now, if you in- vested that $19,755 in a diversified equity portfolio I would- n’t have to do the math to confirm you would be farther ahead than you would with your Canada pension. The disadvantage of earning dividends is no RSP room is created. RSP room is created only when a salary is earned – 18 per cent a year to a maximum of $24,930 for 2015 increasing each year with CPI. However, with TFSAs and corporate investment accounts, there are other ar- guably more long term tax efficient options for your invest- ments. Investing for business owners will be the topic of my next article. A variation on the strategy – what if you had all kinds of RSP room? You can then take advantage of that room by earning in salary exactly equal to your RRSP contributions and withdrawing the rest as dividends. Your salary is 100 per cent tax deductible so the small business corporate tax rate of 15 per cent is avoided. Yes you would pay 4.95 per cent of your salary to CPP and your corporation does contribute the other half (4.95 per cent) on your salary but if your RSP contribution is $20,000 then you pay $990 to CPP, your corporation pays the same but avoiding 15 per cent corporate tax so the net effect is you get to make an RRSP contribution of $20,000 and costing you only $1,813 (4.95 per cent of $20,000 = $990 + (990 – 0.15 per cent of 990) in CPP contributions but avoiding $3,000 in corporate tax. Summary Withdrawing dividends from your corporation can mean you keep more of your income – up to certain limits. Some of this additional income is withdrawn at the cost of not contributing to CPP. However, this does give you greater freedom to invest more flexibly and for greater long term tax efficiency – and as a business owner you are investing right? You don’t have all your future retirement income tied up in your business, do you? I’ll cover this in my next article.

Goodbye Celtic Tiger Following the subsequent financial collapse and the bursting of the so called Irish Celtic Tiger, companies op- 14 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report erating within the construction indus- try in Ireland had to either improvise, adapt and overcome or face extinc- tion. Now some eight years after the Irish construction bubble burst we look at company success stories fol- lowing how they improvised and adapted to this new economic envi- ronment and how they overcame it. Irish construction success stories Hill Engineering is one such com- pany that has had to adapt in order to stay competitive. This approach has resulted in an innovative workforce demonstrated, not least, by their latest product, the Tefra Quick Coupler. This product is a perfect example of inno- vation to solve a problem, designed to ensure safety and eliminate one of the most dangerous aspects of handling attachments - the subsequent risk of it coming away completely. Another Irish based company has adapted an innovative approach to how it minimizes waste production, with all materials used on its con- struction sites obtained from environ- mentally friendly sources wherever possible. This sustainability laid ap- proach has helped Lagan Construc- tion not only procure work throughout Ireland but also provided them with a competitive edge that other construction companies are yet to offer. This has resulted in them ob- taining large scale construction builds such as Olympic Stadium in England and three airport contracts in the Isles of Scilly, Bristol in the U.K. and Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, U.S. Economic decline also resulted in homeowners and perspective home- owners looking at ways to make en- ergy savings. This had a knock on effect on the construction industry with a need for more eco-friendly, sustainable homes. Sextants Con- struction recognized this new market want and adapted its own approach to meet this demand. They now focus solely on energy efficient con- struction, continually increasing and refining their skills and abilities to im- prove the quality of the product and service that they provide. Conclusion It is clear these companies all have one common denominator and that is their ability to improvise, adapt and overcome great obstacles in their own business environment and in- dustry. In these cases, economic ruin was overcome with bright new prod- ucts with great futures ahead for all. More important to note each of these companies have been publicly recognized by the Irish construction industry with certificates and acco- lades showing them each to be mar- ket leaders in their field. The future is bright for all of these companies with the Irish construction industry releas- ing its best performance figures in al- most two years in the last quarter of 2014.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 15 NEWS BRIEFS BRITISH COLUMBIA ALBERTA Vancouver councillors approve tearing down of Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA Calgary Cancer Centre to be built in 2017 The NDP government has pledged $830 million over five years to build a new Calgary Cancer Centre, replacing the aging Tom Baker Cancer Centre at Foothills Hospital. Work will start in 2017 and is ex- pected to be completed by 2024. The facility will be built on the health cam- pus’ northeast corner. New home construction in Calgary declines to lowest level since 1988 Vancouver city councillors have re- cently decided (by a 5-4 vote) to tear down the 44-year-old elevated Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts, replacing the structures with a new at-grade road network, expanding Pacific Blvd. to six lanes, with a 13-acre park and denser False Creek office/condo communities. “We’re at the edge of a really excit- ing opportunity,” Mayor Gregor Robert- son said, describing the viaducts as “a relic of a failed transportation policy.” Council has asked planners to pro- vide a clear plan on how to fund the es- timated $200 million removal, a process that could take 18 months. The planners believe that developer contributions and land sales or city property leases will cover the costs, generating an additional $100 million to construct amenities such as a school or daycare. The viaducts, which replaced an even older Georgia Viaduct in 1979, could technically remain standing for a few decades, but city planners say the city would need to spend upwards of $50 million to maintain them so they wouldn’t collapse in an earthquake. Notably, Green Party Coun. Adriane Carr sided with the right of centre Non Partisan Association councillors in op- posing the removal, calling it an “in- credible gift to developers.” She said in the process, developers’ interests trumped citizens’. “They stand to make an enormous amount of profit.” With the oil recession well under way, Calgary new home construction is expected to decline to levels not seen in more than 25 years. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has reported that housing starts in the area will decline 30.5 per cent this year, to 11,900 units, followed by a further 16 per cent drop next year, to 10,000 units. There will be a slight two per cent rebound in 2017, CMHC predicts, as job creation and net migration improve. “The economy continues to face headwinds largely centred around the decline in the price for oil,” said CMHC analyst Richard Cho. “We’re also see- ing that reflected in the housing mar- ket.” “As far as our forecast goes, we’re not expecting to see a quick rebound in activity because the price for oil will remain relatively low for the next cou- ple of years and that will obviously have an impact on employment growth, migration and income.” Edmonton proposes tougher construction inspection standards Edmonton councillors say the city needs an integrated inspection team with sharper teeth to deal with the problem of sloppy and irritating con- struction practices in mature neigh- bourhoods, the Edmonton Journal has reported. Neighbours have been complaining about excavations without safety fences or signage, flooded basements 16 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report and rattling foundations, as well as messy sites. City staff have proposed changes including higher fines and pulling busi- ness licenses for non-compliance. Councillors added to the proposals in- cluding asking staff to develop an inte- grated team of enforcement officers that could start doing routine inspec- tions, rather than simply responding to complaints, the newspaper reported. “They’ll investigate the possibility of requiring performance bonds to pro- tect city and/or private property, and re- quiring developers to document preexisting conditions with photos.” SASKATCHEWAN $842 million road and infrastructure construction budget: Not all of it will be spent The Saskatchewan government says it has completed a massive vol- ume of road and infrastructure con- struction this year. “As you know, the construction sea- son in Saskatchewan is pretty short be- cause of our weather. And, we were blessed with a very good fall,” high- ways and infrastructure minister Nancy Heppner said. She said the ministry had an $842 million budget but the final calculation on how much was spent will be deter- mined once the work ends – however it will be less than what was budgeted. “We won’t know exactly how much was spent until all the contracts have wrapped up and we know exactly what was completed. Every year, there are some projects that don’t get done ... there’s delays in those,” she said. Saskatoon contemplates stricter rules to make construction work zones safer in 2017 Officials say they are receiving re- ports daily of motorists disrespecting construction zones. Some drivers are failing to reduce their speed, but most issues arise when motorists ignore ‘local access only’ signage and even move traffic barriers. Next year, the city may implement immovable barriers and full street clo- sures around construction sites be- cause of ongoing incidents. Despite challenges, the city has seen improvement at short-term/mov- ing sites, according to a published re- port. It attributed the success to better signage and more rigorous safety in- spection requirements. MANITOBA Premier defends $35.3 million stadium repair loan guarantee Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger is defending a loan guarantee of $35.3 million to repair Winnipeg’s new foot- ball stadium and is facing a call for the auditor general to investigate its con- struction, CTV News has reported. The money is to be used to fix prob- lems that surfaced after Investors Group Field opened three years ago at a cost of $209 million – almost $100 million over budget. The loan guaran- tee will allow repairs to begin immedi- ately following the CFL Grey Cup game next month, Selinger said “It makes sense to provide a loan guarantee to have the cash flow that will allow the stadium to be fixed up as soon as possible, because that will re- duce the cost to everybody going for- ward,” he said. “It’s a safe stadium right now. We’ve been assured of that.” The stadium has been plagued by leaks, insufficient insulation to keep plumbing working in winter and poor drainage. It also needed immediate renovations to make it usable for con- certs and to heat the press box. More than $4 million has already been spent for repairs to ceilings and concrete. The Triple B Stadium consortium owns the stadium, comprising the city, province, Winnipeg Football Club and University of Manitoba, where the sta- dium is located. Triple B has filed a law- suit claiming the architect and builder should be made to pay for the exten- sive repairs the owners allege were due to faulty design and construction. Construction company Stuart Olson, in turn, alleges that the provin- cial government approved the design without regard for such issues, accord- ing to published reports. ONTARIO Toronto rental renaissance: New apartments under construction hitting 25-year high Toronto is experiencing a rental ren- aissance with the number of new apartment units under construction hit- ting a 25-year high this year. There were 26 apartment buildings under construction in the Toronto area in the third quarter of the year, contain- ing more than 6,500 rental units, ac- cording to a new report by real estate market research firm Urbanation Inc. Developers have proposed another 43 rental buildings containing more than 10,000 units. Most of the build- ings are being developed in the city core, although the list of projects in- cludes several in the inner suburbs, such as Scarborough and North York, along with a handful in the 905 region as far afield as Newmarket and Ajax. Toronto prepares to make COR certification mandatory for larger projects The City of Toronto is preparing to make the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association’s (IHSA) Certificate of Recognition (COR) certification mandatory for larger construction proj- ects beginning in 2017. “This is clearly going to affect many hundreds, possibly up to 1,000 con- tractors bidding on city projects,” said David Frame, the Ontario General Con- tractors Association’s (OGCA) director of government relations. The city plans to require COR as a prequalification requirement for gen- eral contractors on jobs greater than $25 million beginning in January 2017, $10 million in 2018 and $5 million in 2019. Bill De Angelis, Toronto’s director of engineering and construction services, said in a statement he could not say specifically how many contractors or how much work volume would be af- fected by the new rules “as our pro- grams are still being finalized.” “Suffice it to say, the city’s capital works program is significant today and is expected to increase in the coming years to address state of good repair and growth needs,” he said. Ottawa permits decline in September to $257 million from $481 million for the same month in 2014 The City of Ottawa has reported 800 building permits in September, with a value of $257,244,232. This is a signif- icant decline from the $481,612,635 in permits recorded for September 2014, and reflects a continuing decline in the The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 17 NEWS BRIEFS overall year to year construction permit volumes. Overall, year to date (January to September), the totals are $1.61 billion in issued permits, compared to $2.1 billion last year. Bill 73: New rules could double transit related costs for Ottawa new home purchasers – creating a 12-fold difference John Herbert, executive director of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ As- sociation (GOHBA), has sent a letter to Ontario community services minister Yasir Naqvi outlining the association’s concerns about the proposed legisla- tion to amend the Planning Act that, if passed in its current form, sets the stage for a potential doubling of Ot- tawa area home purchasers’ transit re- lated costs. The letter, sent on Sept. 10 follow- ing consultations on Aug. 21 with GOHBA representatives, outlines the concerns the association has about the legislation’s impact on housing afford- ability. In the letter, Herbert suggests the current true cost of transit (including development charges, interest on the higher homeowners’ purchase costs, and the regular taxes that everyone has to pay) is $10,638 in the suburbs, com- pared to $1,785 for existing homeown- ers – a differential of six times. Herbert, along with past and current GOHBA presidents Pierre Dufresne and Bob Ridley, attended the meeting. CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA Bill 73 would allow the city to dou- ble these costs, he indicated. “One of the biggest contributors to the affordability challenge has become development charges,” Herbert wrote. “We believe that it is critical to open a discussion on alternative methods of fi- nancing municipal infrastructure. One example of this problem is the cate- gory of transit charges in both the De- velopment Charge (DC) Bylaw as well as the additional amounts that will come into effect with Bill 73. (The government introduced the legislation in the spring, and it has been referred to the Standing Commit- tee on Social Policy.) QUEBEC The Edelweiss House in Wakefield, Quebec, becomes Canada’s first LEED v4 certified building and the second LEED v4 Platinum certified home in the world The Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) has announced that Eco- home’s Edelweiss House project, a passively heated, cold climate demon- stration home in Wakefield, PQ, has become the first project in Canada to earn LEED v4 certification. Edelweiss is not only the first proj- ect in Canada to be certified under LEED v4, but it has also earned the highest level possible – Platinum – making it only the second LEED v4 home in the world to reach LEED’s merk@merx.com 18 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report www.merx.com most rigorous level CaGBC says. The hyper-efficient cold climate house boasts an average price tag and an extremely low operational budget. The 1,522 sq. ft. home, 40 minutes from Ottawa in the Gatineau Hills, cost less than $250,000 to build and its en- ergy bills are estimated to be less than $1.40/day. In comparison, a standard new home of comparable size con- sumes roughly 10 times more energy. The Edelweiss House was designed and built by Emmanuel Cosgrove and Mike Reynolds, co-founders of Eco- home. “We don’t really build anymore as our mission is education,” they say. “We undertook this project to show builders and homeowners that it isn’t that hard or expensive to build better performing homes, and that your true monthly overhead can actually be lower, right from the moment you move in.” The home will now be used for full day workshops, as well as for short- term rentals that allow building profes- sionals or future homeowners to experience the comfort of a passive solar home first hand. “The Edelweiss House is a phe- www.merx.com/events nomenal achievement – the first Cana- dian project to meet the stringent re- quirements of the latest version of LEED at its highest level,” said CaGBC president and CEO Thomas Mueller. Canada currently has nine additional projects registered for LEED v4 certifi- cation. Plan Group Inc. acquires Gastier M.P. Inc. Plan Group Inc., a Canadian techni- cal services provider and subsidiary of Bouygues Energies & Services, has ac- quired Gastier M.P. Inc. from In- vestissements Hexagone Inc. (IHI). Based in Anjou, Québec, Gastier gen- erated more than $140 million in rev- enue in 2014 with 120 permanent employees and approximately 500 hourly employees. Gastier specializes in electrical, in- strumentation, piping, plumbing and mechanical works, maintenance of in- dustrial plants and steel construction. Established in 1971, Gastier has devel- oped a reputation as a leader in the Quebec construction industry with its unique, multidisciplinary approach and superior customer service. This acquisition is an important step in Plan Group’s national growth strat- egy, the company says in a news re- lease. Gastier represents a significant advance for Plan Group into the dy- namic Quebec marketplace. The acqui- sition solidifies Plan Group’s presence in the industrial sector while expanding its electrical and mechanical construc- tion capabilities and relationships within the commercial construction and services sectors. Also it provides Plan Group the opportunity to further advance and market its innovative ICAT (Information, Communications and Au- tomation Technologies) service. Gastier’s management team will re- main in place, as will the company name, logo and brand. “Gastier is an excellent partner for Plan Group. It is a longstanding com- pany with a solid brand, strong man- agement team and consistent values,” says Plan Group CEOI Bill Kurtin. “We’re very excited about what this means for our future.” NEW BRUNSWICK Dieppe builder recognized as a Canadian leader in energy efficient construction Dieppe based builder Jacques LeBlanc of Metropolitan Homes has re- ceived a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Canadian Home Builders’ As- sociation New Brunswick (CHBA-NB) for his work on energy efficient con- struction at a recent association meet- ing. The builder also received a letter of achievement signed by Carol Buckley, director general of Natural Resources Canada’s Office of Energy Efficiency. LeBlanc was also awarded the R- 2000 CHBA-NB Builder of the Year for Multi-Unit Construction Award. This was the 20th consecutive year he re- ceived the award. LeBlanc and his team have built more than 300 R-2000 homes in his subdivisions in the Dieppe and Monc- ton area. In fact, LeBlanc is one of only three builders in all of Canada who has built more than 300 R-2000 homes. Over the past three decades, LeBlanc’s R-2000 homes have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 820 tons annually – the equivalent of taking 174 cars of the road each year, the CHBA- NB said in a news release. LeBlanc has also volunteered thou- sands of hours as president of both his local and provincial home builders’ as- sociations. He has also served as the Atlantic Home Warranty Program’s president.

In Canada, 250,000 people are ex- pected to retire from skilled construc- tion work in the next several years, Sam Sanderson, general manager of the Construction Association of P.E.I. said in an interview with the broad- caster. He said it’s urgent to get young people interested in the trades. “We need to get youth involved, get some excitement into it for them, really show them what the trades sector and construction industry is all about,” said Sanderson. As an example, most trades stu- dents won’t have to look far to find work once they graduate from Holland College’s Summerside campus. Kent Sheen, the college program manager for Industrial Technology and Trades, said employers often seek out students months before graduation. “The resounding comments from all of our trades advisory groups are yup, we’re having challenges, yup, we’re al- ways on the lookout for people,” he said. NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Tenders called for new Virginia Park Elementary School The provincial government has is- sued a call for tenders for the next stage of construction on a new Virginia Park Elementary School in St. John’s. The province spent nearly $8 million to carry out site development, and this latest tender call is to complete the building, CBC has reported. “This is a tremendous investment in the families and community of Virginia Park which will result in a modern learning environ- ment,” said Transportation and Works minister David Brazil. Earlier, a member of the school CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA council questioned why it’s been months since any construction has taken place on the site of its replace- ment school, in the east end of the city.

NORTHWEST TERRITORIES Bird Construction to build Yellowknife hospital Harvard students visit rural Newfoundland A group of Harvard University archi- tecture students spent a week in New- foundland communities in October helping the towns develop innovative new designs and expansions. The 14 Masters students visited Harbour Grace, Twilingate, and Port Union as part of the Outports in Transi- tion program, studying the towns, with public discussions and meetings to fig- ure out fresh ideas for the communi- ties. “I’d like to think that these architec- tural students are going to come in and look at some of our potential places here in the harbour and around the town, and see it through those new eyes,” said Harbour Grace councillor Gordon Stone. Stone said that opportunities for growth can sometimes be overlooked by those who have been in the region for a long time, according to a pub- lished report. He mentioned the Admiral’s Marina in Harbour Grace, which was simply a small salt water pond for years before it was made into a thriving harbour. “Here’s an idea now of something that went on for years that nobody saw the potential,” he said. “A group saw it with fresh eyes, and lo and behold, here it is.” The students will help the town councils put together comprehensive plans for the towns, which will include architectural designs of proposed proj- ects. “Having a set of architectural draw- ings that could back up some of the 20 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Bird Construction Inc. has an- nounced financial close of the Stanton Territorial Hospital renewal project for the government of the Northwest Ter- ritories.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 21 BONE Structure system “extremely intuitive” Contractor assembles luxury steel Saskatoon home in 10 days with quick learning crew 22 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature The contractor completing the first BONE Structure gal- vanized steel home in Saskatchewan says the construction process “is extremely intuitive” and its framework could be completed in less than two weeks, with site workers who had never before seen or touched the system. This doesn’t mean that the Aspect Home Builders’ lux- ury, 4,700 sq. ft. project could be immediately replicated for high volume tract communities, indicates project man- ager and designer Brady Plett. Although the BONE Structure framing was completed in late May and early June, the home hasn’t been quite completed – because custom high-end finishes and fix- tures ordered from remote suppliers still need to be in- stalled. The property has a $2 million price tag, making it one of Saskatoon’s most expensive custom properties. Plett said it is difficult to compare the costs of building with the BONE Structure technology compared to conven- tional stick and frame construction, but estimates it would cost 10 to 15 per cent more with the pre-engineered con- cept; though these costs certainly can be recouped over the home’s lifetime with higher quality, better insulation properties and lower operating costs. The key to the concept is putting the thought and plan- ning into the process at the beginning. The entire home except the foundation is manufactured and shipped to the site, “every piece precut and pre-labelled, with colour- coded directions,” Plett said. “For example, Piece I4 goes to Piece I52, then the whole assembly goes on top of C5” – much like LEGO or Meccano instructions, he said. The construction crew assigned to the project weren’t “all stars – these are guys who had never read a drawing,” he said. By the third day of the 10 day framing process, the workers were able, without guidance, to find the right pieces and complete the assembly. “Every piece is really well thought through, and that translates through the drawings,” he said. “Every single piece down to the screws has been detailed and pre-engi- neered,” he said. “It’s an extremely accurate build. We don’t cut anything. All the pieces are already square and straight.” “Already there’s a built-in level of quality control,” Plett said. “If you do it wrong, you can’t do the next step to com- plete the process. It needs to be right.” Of course, the foundation must be set carefully but Plett said there are provisions in the system to move the base plates slightly, “and cast your anchor – there are ways to modify the foundation” so you aren’t caught off guard with minor tolerance variations. Plett says he sees immediate application for the BONE Structure technology concept in certain commercial and institutional projects, such as care homes, schools and car washes. “It is built from inorganic based materials – the system doesn’t have mould, rust or rot” and would be use- ful especially for multifamily residential properties, condos and hotels up to four storeys tall,” he said. He is currently pricing out a care home in Saskatchewan using the system. The client is looking for a marketing ad- vantage, with a safer, warmer and higher quality structure. Eventually, Plett believes the BONE Structure Technol- ogy may find application in tract homes. “Trades don’t spend a half day cutting homes,” he said, using the sys- tem. “If you are going to do a whole tract, planned out, you’ll achieve increased efficiency, and these efficiencies will give you more and more options.” The construction includes a lightweight, recycled steel frame, which enables homeowners to have a reconfig- urable open space concept, without intermediate beams or interior load bearing walls, a BONE Structure news re- lease says. Electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation systems are connected thanks to precut openings acting as veritable “highways” within the structure, just like an air- plane fuselage, the company says.

It has been named Kisik Towers as part of a campus-wide initiative to reflect the university’s aboriginal connection. The university had earlier announced an overall strategic plan to indigenize the campus, recognizing its location on Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 lands. The Kisik name (pronounced kee-zhick), comes “from the Saulteaux language, meaning ‘sky,’ because it’s the tallest building on campus,” univer- sity president Vianne Timmons has said. Project manager James Westerman says the new resi- dence opened in time for students to move in on Sept. 4, just 27 months after construction began. The building in- cludes a combination of dorm, two-bedroom, four-bed- room, assisted living and accessible rooms. Westerman says this residence will allow the university to accommodate about 14 per cent of its students on-cam- pus; the western Canadian average. The project also in- creases the total number of available daycare spaces on campus to 180. “The daycare spaces are allocated on a first-come basis with priority going to students, then staff, and then the remainder are open to the public.” He says the design and construction of the residence has been driven by sustainability. There is in-floor heating and cooling and exhaust air heat recovery. Fixtures have also been chosen to balance student living with controlled water usage. Marquardt Mechanical ULC managed the project’s me- chanical disciplines. Project manager Justin Henderson 24 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report says the radiant in-floor cooling design is more common in Europe but is slowly gaining traction here. The design required 350,000 ft. of tubing be laid which he says means essentially his “crews crawled from Regina to Moose Jaw on their knees.” He says the tubing installation required that large areas of the building be inaccessible to other trades. Installing tubing quickly was a sensitive schedule challenge that re- quired collaboration between his company and the project team to ensure other trades were not delayed. Designed essentially like a hotel with suites down cor- ridors and compact living spaces, Henderson says the work was repetitive and created both challenges and effi- ciencies. “We developed a system of fabrication that al- lowed us to minimize cutting and fabrication at the point of install. We also had the challenge of fitting the ductwork into ceiling spaces without compromising heights.” Tying into the university’s central plant, the residence uses chilled water and steam for its heating and cooling. “There are heat recovery wheels on the make-up air-han- dling units to help with efficiency and the in-floor system will draw water from the return side of the make-up air units for use in the in-floor cooling loops.” Henderson says this design methodology will increase the water tempera- ture returning to the plant which will allow the central plant chillers to run more efficiently. Henderson says Marquardt Mechanical ULC, who has also completed other projects on the campus, has a good understanding of what the university wants and the typical challenges of a project of this scope. He says an open re- lationship with the university’s facilities management helped the project run smoothly. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 25 “We had weekly walk-throughs with the university’s staff and the engineers to identify issues so we could make changes along the way without the extra cost of re- work and to minimize end of project deficiencies.” Understanding the buildings will be occupied largely by first and second year students who have the potential for heavy wear and tear, and may be away from home for the first time, Westerman says an effort was made to ensure finishes were durable but also felt homey. “Gathering spaces have been created within the build- ing’s towers to allow students semi-private gathering spaces and on the top floor both towers have multi-func- tion rooms with kitchens and extra capacity for events.” Again, recognizing the aboriginal culture and connection Westerman says the east tower also contains an aboriginal smudging space designed specifically to handle ceremo- nial smoke. Aboriginal art has also been incorporated into two main-floor multi-purpose rooms. Marquardt Mechanical has been design- ing, building and installing mechanical solutions in commercial, institutional, and industrial environments across Western Canada since 1982. 3200 12 th Avenue Regina, SK S4T 1J9 Phone: (306) 352-2789 Fax: (306) 352-2108 marquardtmechanical.com 26 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Westerman says the design of the building and its ac- companying underground parking also created a unique opportunity for creativity in outdoor spaces. “The building doesn’t cover the whole of the parking lot underneath so a green roof was added to the top of the parking garage which will disguise its presence and also create a massive and somewhat private gathering space that will be acces- sible to the daycare.” He says there were typically about 150 workers on site during construction and that one of the biggest challenges was finding local and available skilled sub-trades. “We ended up having workers here from Alberta and Quebec to get the job done.” EDAC EDAC’S annual conference in Whitehorse: Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The Economic Developer’s Association of Canada’s (EDAC) 47 th Annual Conference Sept. 19 through 22 at the Yukon Conven- tion Centre focused on the importance of being different and doing things differently, from embracing cultural and historic uniqueness to varying approaches to economic development. The event kicked off Saturday with registration and activities ranging from the annual golf tournament to boreal biking or a four- hour Yukon tour. The evening’s opening reception at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre included addresses from EDAC president John Watson; Chief Kristina Kane, Ta’an Kwach’an First Nation; and Jessie Dawson, elder, Kwanlin Dün First Nation. Guests were invited to try traditional Dene games, observe carvers at work, and watch the Dakwakada Dancers’ impressive display. On Sunday a welcome breakfast preceded the EDAC annual general meeting, followed by an opening presentation by Twist Marketing’s senior brand strategist, Chris Fields titled Dare to be Different. Later presentations included Community Asset Mapping and Using Nature and Heritage as a Community Builder and Eco- nomic Engine. Monday gave participants a free day away from conference ac- tivities. Delegates participated in one of several themed tours in- cluding Destination Dawson – How Dawson Does Different, and Destination Haines Junction – First Nations-led Economic Devel- opment. Several other tours offered participants a look at different aspects of Whitehorse. On Tuesday, regular activities resumed with presentations in- cluding building stronger municipal and First Nations relations and Growing with your Community, with special focus on managing diverse views through public engagement. The conference is also the setting for the association’s EDAC professional certification exams. Awards ceremonies recognized members for their economic development contributions and mar- keting achievements. Throughout the year, EDAC promotes and advocates to gov- ernment and other regional groups to enhance understanding of professional economic development practices. The association also works with universities to develop programming and skills to sup- port members’ professional development. The association, which represents officials in municipal, re- gional, provincial and federal economic development offices (and associated suppliers and services), reflects the interests of govern- ment officials who spend much of their time connecting with both elected officials and private sector businesses to facilitate commu- nity economic growth. The conference is hosted in a different Canadian city each year. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 27 EDAC Bracebridge combines Muskoka’s cultural heritage and natural splendour with innovation and opportunity for business investment and growth Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Bracebridge is a cultural and recreational gem located in the heart of Muskoka, a quick two hours north of Toronto. A charming and lush landscape surrounds the en- tire District of Muskoka and greets residents and visitors alike with gorgeous natural splendour consisting of a rural network of lakes, forests and trails. Bracebridge is one of six municipalities that make up the District of Muskoka and has a permanent resident population of 16,000 that climbs closer to 25,000 during peak summer months. Randy Mattice, Bracebridge manager of economic de- velopment, says: “In addition to a thriving tourism sector, Bracebridge offers a diverse economy with many sectors such as construction, niche manufacturing, hospitality, green technology and professional services. The construc- tion sector is a particularly strong contributor to the local economy due to ongoing work involving new residential construction, new cottage construction, and a growing cottage renovation market.” He says the weakening Cana- dian dollar is reviving American investment in the cottage sector within the region are all located in the community. Bracebridge has a secure economic foundation based on it being the regional location for government services. For example, offices of the District Municipality of Muskoka, the provincial courthouse, a regional hospital and several public sector head offices such as Lakeland Power are located in Bracebridge. Mattice says the town would like to further diversify its economic composition by attracting innovative companies flourishing in the creative and digital economies. “Town staff feel that Bracebridge has a competitive advantage in 28 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report the creative economy due to recent investments in tech- nology infrastructure (for example, broadband connectivity featuring Giga-bit internet speeds), an expanding collection of professionals such as architects, scientists, and engi- neers, plus the lifestyle these individuals crave to offset their busy schedule.” Mattice says whether people are looking to personally relocate or to relocate a business, Bracebridge has a strong business foundation predicated on an extensive transportation network. “Bracebridge and the District of Muskoka are well serv- iced by an intricate network of local, district and provincial highways,” he said. “Bracebridge has easy highway access since it is situated alongside Highway 11, a four-lane sep- arated highway that connects to the 400 series of high- ways via Highway 400.” Other transportation modes include buses, rail and the Muskoka Airport which he says has a fully lighted 6,000-ft. runway that can accommodate all light planes, most cor- porate aircraft and larger commercial aircraft up to a Boe- ing 737. Mattice says the town recently reorganized its Depart- ment of Planning and Development to focus efforts on pro- moting and streamlining the development process to further attract new investment into the community. The de- partment now consists of an Economic Development Branch, Planning Branch and Building Services Branch. The economic development branch also manages the Downtown BIA co-ordinator and the Muskoka Small Busi- ness Centre whose focus is start-ups, small businesses and young entrepreneurs. “The Town of Bracebridge has a “can do” business ap- Artist rendering of repurposed high school proach where Bracebridge Town Council has approved cer- tain incentives to promote business investment,” said Mat- tice. These include the elimination of non-residential development charges, the freezing of building permit fees at 2014 levels, and access to a variety of grants and inter- est free loans through a comprehensive Community Im- provement Plan (CIP). “One particular program that supports new investment is the Tax Increment Equivalent Grant. It is available to property owners whose municipal property taxes have increased as a result of substantial development, redevel- opment, construction or re-construction of an eligible building or property, within designated areas of the town.” Site plan approval processes have also been stream- lined to assist new investors in navigating the municipal approval process. To increase the fast tracking of the de- velopment approval process, building permit applications can be submitted concurrently with the site plan applica- tion. Bracebridge is embarking on a project to update its Community-Based Strategic Plan as well as an economic and tourism marketing strategy that will highlight and pro- mote these recent development changes to further attract new investment into the community. “We are looking to maximize our exposure in the invest- ment community so along with traditional marketing tech- niques, the town wishes to utilize digital marketing, content management, and social media channels to pro- mote the attributes of the community.” Condominium project begins While it is looking to the future and attracting new in- vestment, Bracebridge has also been proactive in main- taining its heritage through the repurposing of the local historic high school into residential condominiums and transforming a former foundry into a successful cottage accessories retail outlet. Bracebridge has access to several essential business components including a diverse and stable economy; abundant power; a high capacity telecommunication net- work; an affordable skilled workforce; and a well main- tained and efficient transportation network that includes regional and provincial highways. “There is a movement occurring in Muskoka whereby seasonal visitors are making the weekend cottage com- mute a thing of the past,” Mattice said. “They are taking advantage of the prosperous local business environment and establishing their business in Bracebridge.” For more information, visit www.bracebridge.ca.

Home to more than 90,000 residents, 1,500 businesses and several major infrastructure and investment projects, Clarington encompasses a rich blend of urban and rural op- portunities. According to the Clarington Board of Trade and Office of Economic Development (CBOT) everyone can find what they are looking for in the unique communities of Courtice, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono and various rural hamlets. Clarington is a community that has been experiencing no- table development and continues to prepare for exponen- tial growth resulting from major infrastructure projects. Development and job creation Since January of this year, the CBOT have received sev- eral inquiries from realtors, the provincial government and companies to accommodate more than 600,000 sq. ft. of development ranging from 2,000 to 180,000 sq. ft. facili- ties. There has also been a notable increase in the past year in the existing manufacturing community who are looking to expand operations to accommodate their growth. “We know of 10 manufacturers with a combined total of more than 475 employees, who have either expanded or are seriously considering it, or have site plan approval. These include Algoma Orchards (48,000 sq. ft.) and Detox Environmental (18,000 sq. ft.),” said Sheila Hall, executive director. 30 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Between 2014 and the beginning of 2015, the commu- nity has seen more than $35 million invested in commer- cial/industrial development. The Municipality of Clarington recently released a build- ing report highlighting all building permits granted from April until the end of June 2015. It shows that construction is up by 103.6 per cent, compared to the same period in 2014. During that time period, the municipality issued 440 new residential housing unit permits as compared to 170 at the same time in 2014. These positive building permit numbers have increased the year-to-date construction value to 20.7 per cent higher than the same time last year with the majority of the percentage increase in industrial and commercial construction. Local infrastructure improvements Nearly $100 million has recently been, or will be, in- vested in local projects in the next two years. Approxi- mately $2 million was invested in the 400 m. extension of Lake Rd., located in the South Bowmanville Industrial Park. The project was complete in December 2014 and the new extension greatly improves the transportation network and public safety, as well as creating increased opportunity for development. The road extension increases accessibil- ity to more than 100 acres of serviced industrial land. Since the summer of 2014 CBOT has seen increased in- terest in these properties from several users needing prop- erty to accommodate more than 500,000 sq. ft. The extension of the Courtice sewer trunk is a $30 mil- lion project that will extend from Energy Dr. to Courtice Rd., and from Courtice Rd. to Bloor St. within a few years. This is a Region of Durham project that will improve servicing to the Courtice area (and to Oshawa and north Whitby in the future). This work will provide much needed servicing to the employment lands in Courtice and addi- tional residential capacity. New Development Charge By-law On May 11, 2015 Clarington Council approved changes to the Municipality’s Development Charge By-law – effec- tive July 1, 2015. These changes provide new exemptions to help encourage growth and development in Clarington. “We have worked diligently, consulting with the develop- ment community to come up with a fee system that is fair, maintains services and also encourages growth and devel- opment,” said Nancy Taylor, director of finance. To learn more about this, contact CBOT. Existing small to mid-size industrial companies can dou- ble their footprint without paying any Clarington develop- ment charges. For new industrial builds, businesses only pay half the fee levied. “As development moves east, Clar- ington is well positioned for additional growth with more than 125 acres of serviced industrial land along the 401 corridor with an amazing price point ranging from $60,000 to $150,000 per acre. These new development charge ex- emptions will add to the advantage of developing these lands,” says Hall. Darlington Nuclear Refurbishment Project Mega projects and opportunities Port Granby project On July 30, 2015, the federal government announced the award of an $86,847,474 contract under the Port Hope Area Initiative to AMEC – CB&I Joint Venture to build the Port Granby Long-Term Waste Management Facility in the Municipality of Clarington. The Port Granby project will re- locate the historic low-level radioactive waste and margin- ally contaminated soils from an existing waste management facility on the shoreline of Lake Ontario to the new, state-of-the-art facility about a kilometre north of the current site. The contract includes facility construction, waste exca- vation, construction of a roadway to permit transportation of the excavated material without using municipal roads and restoration of the existing and new facility sites. The Port Granby project is part of the Port Hope Area Initiative, a $1.28 billion federally funded project. The local economy will realize significant economic op- portunities with the creation of hundreds of jobs over the project’s five to six-year duration. Requirements for con- tract-related work range from heavy equipment, trucking and excavation, to property maintenance, security, instru- mentation, environmental monitoring and many other skilled trades. Spin-off opportunities such as accommoda- tion, food, printing and signage will also result from the project.

Highway 407 East Phase 2 project In January of 2015, Infrastructure Ontario and the Min- istry of Transportation selected Blackbird Infrastructure Group as the preferred proponent to design, build, finance and maintain the Highway 407 East Phase 2 project. The project will include extending Highway 407 approx- imately 22 km from Harmony Rd. in Oshawa to Highway 35/115 in Clarington. It will also connect Highways 401 and 407 with a 10 km East Durham Link that will serve as a north-south freeway. Concrete is expected to be poured in 2016. This is a $1.2 billion contract, and completion is ex- pected by 2020. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Darlington Nuclear Refurbishment At the Darlington site, construction continues on 18 new or upgraded facilities and infrastructure projects that need to be in place to support Darlington’s refurbishment. As of December 2014, OPG’s investments and ac- tual costs for Darlington’s refurbishment was $1.6 billion and included the new Darlington Energy Complex, the Mock-up and Training Facility and pro- gression of other work and projects. Currently, there are approximately 1,000 people working on the re- furbishment project at the site between OPG and contract staff. OPG expects to have 3,000 contractors through its doors in 2015.

The four-day event included workshops, presentations, panel discussions and project tours. Passive House is the world’s most stringent energy effi- ciency building standard, and this was the third year the conference has brought together Passive House experts in North America to share knowledge, experience and ideas. In addition to the introductory and advanced presenta- tions and workshops, the conference provided a forum for policy makers and regulators to discuss energy efficiency initiatives, learn how other jurisdictions are advancing build- ing energy efficiency and provide tools to do the same. Rob Bernhardt, president of the Canadian Passive House Institute West (CanPHI West) and one of the organizers of the first Passive House conference in Canada in 2013, com- mented on the progress made in energy efficient building over the past two years. Guido Wimmers, winner of Harold Orr Award for contribution to Passive House in Canada 34 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Bedford Road House, Nelson, BC - winner of NAPHN15 Design Award (by Cover Architectural Collaborative) “We’re now seeing local and provincial governments looking to Passive House as a means to achieve climate change and greenhouse gas emission targets. The City of Vancouver is leading the way with a mandate for net zero new buildings by 2020. The province of BC is considering initiatives to advance building energy efficiency and New York City has identified Passive House as the approach it intends to take to improve their buildings. Numerous other jurisdictions have adopted or are considering policy alter- natives to substantially improve building energy efficiency.” The conference showcased many larger Passive House buildings from around the world, including a school in Aus- tria, a Latvian recreational centre, a mid-sized MURB in Van- couver, Ottawa social housing and a New York high rise. Increasingly, examples of large and complex Passive House buildings can be found in North America. The conference saw the launch of the first NAPHN De- sign Awards. Bronwyn Barry and Ken Levenson, directors at the North American Passive House Network presented Cover Architectural Collaborative with the award for its mul- tifamily Passive House residence in Nelson, BC. Dr. Guido Wimmers of the University of Northern BC received the Harold Orr Award for his Canadian Passive House contribu- tion. On Saturday, there was a bicycle tour of Vancouver Pas- sive House projects, led by Mayor Gregor Robertson, who spoke about the city’s plans to advance energy efficient building standards in Vancouver’s bid to become Canada’s greenest city. A bus also took 40 passengers on a tour of Whistler Passive House projects, including the first Cana- dian Passive House and a manufacturing plant prefabricat- ing Passive House wall assemblies. CanPHI West, the hosts of NAPHN15, has started plan- ning the next event for 2017. For more information and Pas- sive House courses visit www.canphi.ca.

EuroLine Windows Inc. leads in Passive House construction with European-style tilt and turn windows, doors Orchards at Orenco in Portland, OR is the largest multi-family Passive House building in North America Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature B.C. based EuroLine Windows Inc. supports Passive House (PH) construc- tion with its European-style tilt and turn windows and doors. The com- pany is one of only two North Ameri- can manufacturers with products meeting the stringent PH standards. EuroLine director Michele Funk says her company meets PH de- mands for superior insulation, solar heat gain, and reduced thermal bridg- ing. “Our 4700-series ThermoPlus TM windows and doors are made of GENEO® profiles, which are a Passive House Institute certified component.” She says unlike regular vinyl win- dows, which require steel reinforce- ment for structural integrity, these profiles have a fibreglass-reinforced hybrid core, meaning that windows can be made larger than previously possible without adding steel thermal bridges. “Combined with the proper choice of IGU (insulated glass units), windows provide high solar heat gain where wanted, and insulate where needed.” Where Passive House is not the end goal, Funk says EuroLine’s high- quality, high-performance products appeal to architects and builders in other ways. Styles range from North American casement and awning win- dows to European tilt and turn win- dows, patio doors, French doors, tilt and glide doors, entry doors, and fold- ing doors. “Because everything is custom made, there is a lot of design flexibil- The Bernhardt Passive Home is the first Passive House built on Vancouver Island ity. We have a specialty department that makes shaped windows, like rakes, archtops, roundtops, circles and ovals. We also have a foiling line that adds a durable acrylic laminate to the exterior, interior or both surfaces of the window. These laminates are available in solid colours, metallic fin- ishes, and our EuroWood TM finishes.” Consumers also benefit from Euro- Line’s high-quality products. Funk says superior thermal performance The North Park 6-unit condo is the first market condominium building in Canada to meet the stringent international Passive House standard The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 35 Passive House translates to comfort and health ben- efits, in addition to savings. “In houses that have low-performance windows it is almost necessary to move the fur- niture a few feet into the room, as it feels as though windows are leaking, and it is uncomfortable to sit near them.” “We use Super Spacer® in our IGUs to prevent thermal bridging be- tween glass panes. This helps to keep the interior pane warm, and in most climates completely prevents conden- sation from forming on the interior of the window.” Condensation, she says, can lead to mould, which is a great health con- cern especially to children, the elderly, and those with respiratory problems such as asthma and allergies. EuroLine tilt and turn windows also are easy to use. “The multi-point lock- ing system is operated with the turn of a single handle, which makes oper- ation fast and easy, providing fast egress in case of emergency, includ- ing for the elderly and people with re- stricted mobility, like arthritis suffer- ers.” Funk says tilt and turn windows also are easier and safer to clean in the turn position and provide secure ventilation in the tilt-position. In the locked position, the multi-point lock- ing hardware makes them extremely intruder resistant, she says. Understanding that industry regu- lations and consumer demands are constantly changing, Funk says Euro- Line is focused on being a leader in the industry. “We were the first to in- troduce a five-chamber system to North America, at a time when most other manufacturers still had two or three-chamber systems. With our 4700-series we are the first to now manufacture a six-chamber system.” Funk says EuroLine introduced its 4700-series, specifically created for use in Passive Houses, in 2012, “long before most anyone in the North American building industry even knew what a Passive House was.” “We are continually developing new systems that fill needs in the market – sometimes even before the market has realized this need. We test new systems rigorously before intro- ducing them, always striving for high quality and high performance.” This, she says, pushes the entire in- dustry towards higher standards. From its location in Canada, Funk says EuroLine is well-positioned to serve North American markets more effectively than European sources that may be less costly at first-glance. “Our products are designed and manufactured specifically for the North American market. And there are other considerations besides initial cost….If a glass unit breaks, how long will it take to get a replacement? How much will it cost? Glass coatings are not the same in Europe as they are here, so it is not simply a matter of getting a replacement unit locally, as it will not match the rest of the glass.” For more information, visit www.euroline-windows.com. PASSION FOR PASSIVE P ASSION P ASSIVE ® T oll Toll Free: 1.800.337.8604 • 36 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION Two Regina women develop unique Women’s Habitat for Humanity build 200 women raise $1,000 each to fund construction of two homes, built by women Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Photos by Peter Scoular Photography Under a build model inspired by two local women, 200 women will share the cost this year to construct two homes for Regina-based families. This initiative, though born in Saskatchewan, has been embraced in other com- munities across the country. Volunteers Trish Bezborotko, retail sales manager with Harvard Broadcasting Regina, and Yvonne Slobodian, owner of asOne Investments, came up with an idea in 2011. They, along with 98 other women, would contribute $1,000 each – or $100,000 in total – to build the homes. The two now co-chair the effort. “We had set a goal to raise the money within 100 days,” says Bezborotko. “Forty-nine days later, the money was in the bank.” She says some of the women who signed up also do- nated time on site. “All the houses Habitat builds are con- structed with journeyman carpenters and skilled tradespeople with the help of volunteers. So while many of us had a blast actually being on site hanging drywall and swinging hammers – many also simply enjoyed being a part of changing a family’s life by allowing them the op- portunity to step in to homeownership.” After the positive response that first year, in 2012, the goal doubled, resulting in 200 women participating and two families “given the opportunity to escape high rent and less than desirable housing conditions by becoming home- owners themselves.” The initiative launched again this year under the name 200K Women Build. Meanwhile, Bezborotko says a group of men, inspired by the program, launched their own 200K initiative. Bezborotko says a build of this nature could take six months or longer. “The homes could likely be built faster with skilled trades but Habitat is all about community and the coming together of volunteers who wish to make a dif- ference. The journeypersons who oversee the build and the volunteers are amazing.” She says the energy on a Habitat build site is unique and on a women’s build site in particular where it is driven by a heart for other families. “Women are nesters by nature and I think many of us want to help other families have a place to love and protect and house their families.” She says it has not been difficult to find women to en- gage in the program. “Not all actually help on the build site but many do and they absolutely love the experience. It’s an amazing way for women to do things they’ve always wanted to but never maybe had the chance to.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 37 WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION “The sites we work on are serious business but we still have fun and enjoy working with each other in a different capacity. The willingness to learn and grow is awesome and we leave the site dirty, tired and fulfilled.” Some, she says, are there to learn for themselves and some she believes go on to use their experience as a stepping stone for employment in the trades. With her own husband in the construction indus- try for the last 20 years, Bezborotko says she learned a lot from watching him and all that he does. “Hav- ing said that though and because he is so handy I often don’t get involved in that type of thing in my own household. When I have worked on the sites there is a great feeling of independence and ‘girl power’ that comes from that. It has been amazing.” Bezborotko says all of the women who have been involved feel fortunate to be able to contribute financially and also on the build site if they so choose. “We are strong women, determined to make a difference in our community.” Both the 200K Women Build and the 200K Men Build groups are still seeking participants and hope to celebrate reaching the goal in October. For more information, email Trish or Yvonne at tbezborotko@harvardbroadcasting.com or yvonne@asoneinvestments.com. This year 200 women are joining forces once again to raise $200,000 to fund and build two homes through Habitat for Humanity. Each woman will contribute $1000. Funds raised will be used to build two homes, for two partner families, at Haultain Crossing.

She grew up on a farm in rural Man- itoba, developing an ethic for hard work, an understanding that she could do anything she set her mind to, and, working alongside her brothers and sisters on the farm, the perspective that men and women could work to- gether, in any profession. During her early law career Fulton worked for a developer and got her first taste of the industry. When she relocated to B.C. and had to wait to be called to the bar, she took a position with BCCA to fill the time. “I’ve been here 18 years now and have loved every minute of it.” Her responsibilities then included advocating and lobbying for the indus- try with the government. She still takes on these challenges, especially relating to regulatory change and in- dustry training. However these days, she focuses her passion more on ap- prenticeships and encouraging people to consider trades careers. “To fill the labour shortage that is coming we need to have one out of every five young people entering the trades,” she said. “We see an average of one in 85. The average age of ap- prentices is 27 so these are people who have gone to school, perhaps tried other things and then decided they needed a job.” She says high school shop classes haven’t been updated in decades be- cause schools have focused their funding on technology and other in- vestments. “Kids need to be deciding in high school whether they are inter- ested in trades. When the setting is a dingy, dark shop room filled with rusty, out-dated equipment, who is going to choose that?” Fulton indicates that the BCCA has supported a foundation with an initia- tive to raise money to improve high school shop classes. To date, this ef- fort has raised more than $3 million. The other issue she sees impacting people coming to the trades is gender. She notes that she herself has experi- enced gender discrimination in her ca- reer but overcame it because of her early life experiences. She says there are a lot of good opportunities in con- struction for women and girls, and de- pendable good money to be made, but it is still a number game. “When you look at girls on tools you might see four per cent. We need to see numbers closer to 15 per cent for women to be able to feel comfort- able on a job site.” Fulton says, while owners and gen- eral contractors may be open to hiring women – more interested in who has the skills and can do the job above all else – job sites are still not girl-friendly. “To be on site now women have to be ready to face challenges. Women have to have a bit of grit and backbone to work alongside men. If a woman has the skill but lacks that, she may struggle.” Away from job sites, she says there are women, like herself, succeeding in the industry. For example in associa- tions where their management and or- ganizational skills help keep things moving forward. The BCCA continues to support programs launched a decade ago aimed at helping various interest groups, including women, Aboriginals and immigrants, discover construction careers. “It’s been fairly busy in B.C. and getting busier. There are some big projects on the horizon that are going to significantly impact the demand for skilled labour.” Encouraging women’s entry into the trades could help fill the upcoming labour demands. Fulton is also hoping her focus on apprenticeships will help. She says trades apprenticeships are more than a program, they represent a culture. “People who go through as an appren- tice start work and then want to give back by training others. It’s a great way to learn. It’s a system we need to make sure people are able to navigate because it can be complicated.” She hopes more young people will consider careers in the trades. She notes the experience can be benefi- cial, whatever their path in life. “I would encourage every young person to try a shop class,” she said. “That early applied learning helps de- velop problem solving skills that can help in many areas of life.” W When n i it t comes s t to o h e c o m e c complex x construction n o mple c o ns rt u oitc o issues, s, it i t he lp s to t o ha v e is s u e helps have e x pe ri e n c o o ur s i de experience e on n y your side. . w www.jml.ca a w w .jm c.l The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 39 WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION Alberta’s Evolution Glass: Ashley Munro at the helm Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Ashley Munro has been involved in the glazing industry since she was a young girl. Though she says glazing is still a highly male-dominated and largely unknown profession, she has experienced success and fulfillment as president of Evolution Glass. Growing up, Munro had experience working for her father who was a glazier and owned his own company. She says she started helping out dur- ing summer breaks, and gradually worked her way up through various po- sitions, learning the business along the way. “It started as a convenient sum- mer job – working for my dad – but I quickly found I loved the work, and loved the challenge.” In 2012 she and her husband Richard and their partner Marc Blakney, started Evolution Glass. In the three years it has been in operation, the trio have more than tripled the company’s facilities and capacity. Saying the partners and staff are a strong team, Munro is comfortable in her role within the company, despite the fact that she is one of two women out of a staff of 58. She says the gen- der discrepancy is never an issue be- cause she has always worked with respectful people and she is not easily intimidated personally. “At the end of the day people are people, regardless of age or gender. I’d love to see more women working with us but the fact is that we don’t see women applying.” Munro said her sister worked in the fabrication shop during her summer break and thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on aspect. She anticipates re- turning next summer. Part of the numbers issue, she be- lieves, is that glazing doesn’t get the recognition of other trades. “Many people don’t know what a glazier does, that it is more than working with glass.” She says glazing is a very service- oriented business and despite the country’s current recession status, the 40 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION company currently has more than 10 openings for skilled glaziers. Evolution Glass she says has been very involved since its inception in Al- berta’s apprentice program. This year the company will have 10 apprentices training at various times throughout the year. Munro says one of the advantages of a career in the trades is job security, even during slower times. “If you can do the job and are willing to work hard, you will absolutely be able to weather slow times and have a career for life.” And within glazing she says, there is more to the career than most people think. “We are constantly learning – about energy efficiency, safety, new in- stallation processes, and every day the job can be something different and in- volve a different challenge to solve.” She says the glazing industry as well is a tight-knit group. Companies like Evolution Glass work hard to make sure their employees find careers they love so that going to work every day is something to look forward to. “The Provincial Glaziers Association of Al- berta (PGAA) is a close group and al- though members are technically competitors, everyone is supportive, knows one another and works well to- gether.” Her advice to women considering a career in the trades is to not be intimi- dated or afraid to try something they are interested in, or to do something they love. “The trades have evolved and they will accommodate anyone with skill. Life is about doing what you want and what makes you happy. If that is a trade, then you have a win-win in many ways.” Evolution Glass Inc. is your one stop commercial glazing contractor.

It has developed cost optimized, climate specific passive house met- rics, instead of a single, one size fits all number. PHIUS also partners with other organizations including the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and RESNET to implement a third party quality assurance/quality control pro- tocol. PHIUS is rooted in a 2002 effort by German-born architect Katrin Klingen- berg, who set out to test whether the European derived passivhaus method- ology and standard could be applied successfully in the U.S. Beginning with her own residence in Urbana, Illinois, Klingenberg later founded e-colab Construction Labora- tory, which gained status as a Com- munity Housing Development Organization. This in turn made it eli- gible to work with the City of Urbana to build several single-family afford- able housing projects. Klingenberg and builder Mike Ker- nagis received great interest in train- ing from forward thinking architects and builders around North America, so they developed an English lan- guage curriculum and created the Cer- tified Passive House Consultant (CPHC®) professional credential. Recognizing the need for a national effort, they founded PHIUS under the e-colab umbrella to advance passive building in the U.S. and Canada. PHIUS began offering CPHC training around North America. PHIUS communications director Michael Knezovich says though PHIUS originally based its training and certified projects on the European standards, the institute quickly be- came aware of critical differences be- tween Central Europe, where the European standard was developed, and North American climates and mar- kets. “Some North American climates are simply more extreme, and gener- ally, humidity is a bigger issue. That, combined with a less regulated and less homogenous market, made qual- ity assurance and quality control a big- ger concern here than in Europe.” PHIUS concluded that passive methodologies (super insulation, air- tight envelopes, elimination of thermal bridges, energy recovery ventilation, etc.) are universally valuable and appli- cable, but it also concluded that the notion of a single target performance metric, though an attractive concept, simply didn’t fly. PHIUS also found that the German project certification requirements left way too much room for error and risk, so it set about de- veloping its own standards and certi- fication protocols. Understanding that the cost of components and renewables and other factors will inevitably change, PHIUS set a commitment to update the formula every three to five years. In 2015, it implemented its most re- cent effort, the PHIUS+ 2015 Climate Specific Passive Building Standard, the product of three years of research funded by the U.S. Department of En- ergy (DOE), and in partnership with the renowned Building Science Cor- poration. 42 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report “It produced climate specific target metrics that represent the sweet spot between aggressive energy conserva- tion and cost effectiveness,” Kne- zovich said. “It also provides designers a guideline on when to stop investing in the envelope and when it’s more cost effective to invest in re- newables. The new standard has been an enormous success, and has removed obstacles to adoption.” PHIUS also recognized that in the early days, architects and designers were having difficulty finding con- struction crews willing to take on something new and different. To meet that demand, it has developed the Certified Builder training program, which covers the unique construction management and risks that passive building presents. Since its inception, PHIUS has trained more than 2,000 professionals. “Meantime, the PHIUS+ program now earns DOE Zero Energy Ready Home and Energy Star 3 status. Proj- ect certifications have grown expo- nentially since it was implemented. In 2012 we had a dozen certified proj- ects. We’re up to 150, with a similar number in process.” He says since Klingenberg built her house in 2002, there has been a slow but steady acceleration of awareness Passive building house is the best path to Net Zero and Net Positive. Passive buildings are super energy efficient, healthy, comfortable and resilient PHIUS is North America's leading provider of passive house training, project certification, quality assurance, research and outreach • Professional training and certification • Certified Passive House Consultant (CPHC®) Training for architects, designers and engineers • Certified Builder Training for construction professionals • Quality Assurance Training for raters and energy auditors and QA pros • PHIUS+ Project Certification • Based on PHIUS+ 2015 climate-specific, cost-effective metrics • Rigorous design review and consultation • Third-party on-site quality assurance PHIUS www.phius.org info@phius.org The Canadian Design and Construction Report — November 2015 – 43 Passive House Institute U.S. and adoption. “A big part of that has been concern about carbon. But an- other aspect is that passive buildings are simply more comfortable, health- ier and more resilient than conven- tional buildings.” “We also advance awareness through our annual conference. This is the largest and longest running North American passive building conclave and brings together leading passive building practitioners who share les- sons learned and successes.” This year’s conference, held in Sep- tember in Chicago, also attracts the leading high performance building components vendors. “The confer- ence is always an exhilarating event. Nothing beats getting a bunch of building science geeks together in the same place. Joe Lstiburek, Marc Rosenbaum — plus developers like Steve Bluestone.” “The buzz this year was multi family – our keynote was Katie Swenson from Enterprise. Enterprise is a major force in affordable housing, and re- cently included passive house in its low income housing criteria.” The conference’s awards compo- nent highlighted projects that “both exemplify best practice and that, by successful implementation, advance the market for passive buildings.” Right now he says the biggest growth is in multi family projects – both affordable and market rate. “Cost has been a real and true concern of Passive House. We’ve solved that, but the notion that passive buildings are substantially more expensive than conventional ones lingers. Today, in practice, multi family projects are being brought in at conventional mar- ket rates. Single family varies, but they’re also closing in.” He says the other misconception about Passive House is that people think the sustainability concept dic- tates esthetics; that they have to look like sleek Euro boxes. The truth is Pas- sive House can be designed in any style. “The Four Square home in Bethesda, MD is a great example of how a passive house can be designed to any esthetic. Orchards at Orenco, which won best overall project in our recent competition, is a game changer. It’s a 57-unit affordable hous- ing project. Phase II is in progress, and it promises to come in at conven- tional costs.” 44 – November 2015 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Knezovich says several high and mid-rise projects are in the works. Project certification has been one of the institute’s critical roles to date, he says. “Passive buildings present special risks because of the levels of insulation and airtightness. Our PHIUS+ Certification program with its QA/QC component has greatly accel- erated confidence and adoption in the market.” Knezovich says many people don’t realize that passive house concepts actually developed in Canada and the United States, before European work on the concept. “The term super insu- lation was coined at the University of Illinois’ Small Homes Council decades ago. Researchers were among North American pioneers who developed the fundamental concepts that we now label Passive House.” He says super insulation, ERV, air- tightness, elimination of thermal bridges, management of solar gain all originated in the U.S. and Canada. “In fact, the Saskatchewan Conservation House is widely acknowledged as the very first Passive House.” Research is also a growing part of PHIUS’ efforts. He says the PHIUS+ work was critical, and the PHIUS Tech- nical Committee - a group of volun- teers who are advanced practitioners- continues to develop technical re- sources for the community.
