CHBA-NL members can register for the morning pre-conference workshop, as well as the conference and trade show at our CaGBC members’ price of $125 each, which is a discount of $50 for each session.  Normally, the workshop and the conference are priced at $175/each for non-members.  To take advantage of this offer, CHBA-NL members must choose the “member” registration option and, in the space where a membership number is requested, type in CHBANL.

The CHBA-NL will be hosting a media event to formally launch our Energy Efficiency video series, made possible with funding provided by Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN), consisting of four 3-minute long videos to help educate consumers on the basics of home energy efficiency, insulation, mechanical systems and the structural elements of a highly efficient home.
