2022 Annual General Meeting & Feature Presentation
We welcome all PBC members to join us for our Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, March 7th, 2023 at 4 PM PST / 5 PM MST / 7 PM EST.
As always at our AGM we host an informative talk and we are very pleased to welcome PBC member Peter Amerongen. Peter's talk will be:
The 10,000,000 Building Challenge - a Progress Report
Peter’s discussion of the 10,000,000 building challenge will be informed by his deep experience with deep retrofits - actually doing them with the Energiesprong style retrofits to the Sundance Housing Co-op and three single family houses and from his extensive coaching and consulting on other projects.
Peter Amerongen has been designing and building energy efficient housing in and around Edmonton, since the 1970’s. As a partner in Habitat Studio, he designed and built a dozen net zero energy houses, Canada’s first net zero energy affordable multi-family project, and Canada’s first net-zero energy church.
