SUMMARY:2015 BCBEC Conference Speakers
DESCRIPTION:Speakers’ Bios and Detailed Conference Presentation Summaries:\n(Updated September 19\, 2015) \n \n \nHarold Louwerse\nMorrison Hershfield Ltd. \nHarold Louwerse\, BTech\, RRO is a field technologist with Morrison Hershfield Ltd. (MH) and works with the Building Science and Energy Division as a building science consultant and roof inspector. Harold has been involved in the construction industry in Alberta and BC for over 15 years and joined MH in 2006. Harold has been heavily involved in design and field review of many institutional buildings throughout BC\, many of which have used spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation and has also helped to develop\, implement\, grow\, and manage MH’s Quality Assurance Program (QAP) with several spray foam manufacturers. Harold has also evaluated many of BC’s spray foam applicators working on construction sites around the province today and has performed hundreds of spray foam inspections. \nPresentation: Spray What? \nSpray foam is increasingly being used in buildings in many different applications: as a sealant\, an insulator\, and as a critical barrier – air barrier\, vapour barrier and moisture barrier. However\, different foams do different things and understanding each type of foam will help the industry design and specify the right products for the right applications. \nThis talk will cover:   The pros and cons of spray foam\, understanding the different spray foams available on the market today\, code and other practical considerations when designing assemblies with spray foam\, where spray foam can be used and where caution is required.  We will also review some photos of what can go wrong with spray foam in the field (troubleshooting). \n \n \nJarrett Hutchinson \nBuilding & Safety Standards Branch \nJarrett Hutchinson is the Acting Executive Director of the Building and Safety Standards Branch of the Province of B.C. In his experience with all three levels of government\, he has actively worked with the development\, application and enforcement of codes\, standards and policies at a municipal\, provincial and national level. \nPresentation: An Overview of the Building Act \nBrief summary of presentation: The Building Act is B.C.’s first act dedicated just to building and construction. Passed in spring 2015\, the act introduces three main changes aimed at streamlining and modernizing B.C.’s building regulatory system. Learn about the changes and how they’ll affect you and others working in the building construction sector. \n  \n \n \nRebecca Holt\nPerkins + Will \nRebecca Holt\, M.Urb\, LEED AP BD+C\, ND is a Sustainable Building Advisor in the Vancouver office of Perkins+Will.  She consults on a variety of work related to sustainability concepts and high performance design for buildings and communities.

Insight from the design team will focus on the intersection of energy\, water and materials strategies as they relate to building performance and the Living Building Challenge program. \n  \n \n \nGreg McCall\nCity of Vancouver \nMr. Greg McCall is the City of Vancouver’s Energy Policy Specialist responsible for energy policy development\, implementation and enforcement for new and existing buildings within the city. Vancouver’s recognized leadership in building energy has allowed Mr. McCall the opportunity to sit on several committees that guide energy policies at the provincial and national levels. Mr. McCall’s energy compliance checklists for the City of Vancouver were recently used as models to co-develop the NECB 2011 compliance checklist presently available from NRC to provinces adopting the NECB. Previous to joining the city\, Mr. McCall was the Sustainable Building Design Manager for a local architectural firm known for its lead in sustainable design. As a mechanical engineer\, Mr. McCall’s experience in the consulting world\, coupled with his experience in program development\, allows him to comprehend the effects of city policy and develop systems that add value at both the policy and implementation levels. \nPresentation: 90.1-2010 and NECB 2011 – Their adoption with Conditions\, and How This Affects Your Building Envelope \nBuilding energy performance has been a design consideration for decades but is increasingly being used to assess energy efficiency and GHG emissions. More and more jurisdictions across North America are recognising the benefits of improved building energy performance and are taking action by adopting energy bylaws and energy standards. Recently\, Canada’s National Research Council has revised the old MNECB and released the 2011 National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings\, which is quickly being adopted by various provinces and territories across the nation. Leading jurisdictions\, those with building energy requirements already in place\, are moving forward as well with compliance enforcement processes necessary for building permit issuance. This presentation will look at today’s energy requirements for BC and the City of Vancouver with an emphasis on building envelope\, and what both the industry and building officials can do to ease this transition. \n  \n \n \nTracy Hutton\nKeynote Speaker \nTracy Hutton has focused the last 10 years of her career exploring\, experimenting with and supporting the Strengths Revolution. She was a collaborator on Marcus Buckingham’s last two books Find Your Strongest Life and StandOut and continues to support the work of The Marcus Buckingham Company as a strengths coach and program facilitator. Prior to joining Marcus\, she was VP of Employee Experience for Placemaking – the real estate development arm of Intrawest.
