ECO Canada is proud to bring you CHBA’s Net Zero Training programs.

Canada’s building codes are evolving, and forward-thinking businesses are acting now to avoid costly missteps later. Upskilling your team today keeps projects compliant, competitive, and future-ready. Designed for builders, renovators, and industry professionals, CHBA’s Net Zero Training equips your team to deliver homes that set the benchmark for comfort, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
