BCIT – XZEB 1130 – Airtightness and Low-TEDI Enclosures Lab for Zero Energy/Emissions and Passive House Buildings
This lab course allows for hands-on practice constructing various air barrier systems and assembly details for zero energy/emissions and Passive House buildings to meet the requirements of the national and provincial zero energy (BC Energy Step Code) and Passive House standards. Students will apply a foundational understanding of zero energy/emissions building codes and standards, airtightness and low-TEDI enclosures and work through several hands-on lab stations to build, test, or evaluate various assemblies using a range of approaches and materials. Students should prepare for light construction and wear steel-toe footwear for lab sessions. Tools are provided onsite.
This course is eligible under the Essentials of Net Zero and Passive House Construction microcredential for free tuition this fall for the StrongerBC Future skills training grant on a first-come-first serve basis.
