Canadian Home Builders Association Net-Zero Home Training

January 12, 2025

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.

To support members in their goal to voluntarily deliver Net Zero Homes to the market, CHBA has developed the training courses below for the Net Zero Home Labelling Program with the help of industry experts. 

Only CHBA and CHBA Qualified Net Zero Service Organizations can deliver these instructor-led courses, using CHBA Qualified Net Zero Trainers. Additionally, CHBA is developing online, self-directed versions of these courses to support broader uptake as industry prepares for the coming changes in the building codes. 

REBATE PROGRAM 

To help prepare the industry for future building codes, CHBA is conducting a 3-year (April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027) NRCan funded project called Enabling Tiered Codes – Implementation and Market Preparedness. To support the project objective of building industry competency, CHBA is pleased to offer rebates for select Net Zero Training courses during this project, where indicated below. Please note that funding is limited, and rebates/discounts will be provided on a first come, first served basis. 

In Year 2 of this initiative (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026) the incentives are as follows:
