About funding for energy – efficiency training to support conservation
By Bill Bennett, Kootenay East MLA
1. In Victoria, I toured the International Passive House, which uses design principles that reduce energy consumption by up to 90% compared to other buildings at a cost of only 10% more than the average home to build.
2. Government is providing $100,000 to the Canadian Passive House institute (CanPHI) West to train up to 200 qualified professionals so that construction and design professionals can build the most energy efficient buildings possible.
3. I urge any contractors, construction and design professionals in East Kootenay to consider applying for this one-week course. Energy consumption savings of 90% in East Kootenay would result in thousands of dollars in savings annually for residents who built a passive house.
