Free, open Zoom drop-in sessions
We’ve been having Wednesday night online check-ins for a while now – these are free and open to anyone interested in PEAK-Buildings topics. Here are some recent topics that participants have been interested in and that we have discussed during the Zoom sessions:
- mitigating heat dome effects with building enclosure strategies
- modular building solutions for housing issues
- career-development paths to enter the building-based sector, and how to leverage your prior learning and new interests in sustainable design, climate-responsive, and energy-efficiency fields.
- Life-cycle assessment and energy modelling software and skill development: free and low-cost training opportunities
- Current resume-building volunteer opportunities to participate in LEED, STARS, and outreach efforts
For more information, and an invitation to participate, please email PEAKinfo@douglascollege.ca
Here is a link to an upcoming opportunity to learn about Life Cycle Assessment software used for whole-life carbon studies for North American construction that one of the students brought up last night, relevant to her work as a Sustainability Specialist: https://academy.oneclicklca.com/courses/one-click-lca-summer-school-2022
