Spring Training 2025 brought together builders, designers, consultants, and industry leaders who know that amid a historic housing crisis, practical building science is key to making progress. Together, we explored how applied ingenuity can improve efficiency, lower carbon, increase resiliency, and make housing more accessible and affordable for Canadians.
Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and attendees for your generous sharing, sharp insights, and collaborative spirit. It was an energizing and solutions-focused event — and we’re grateful to everyone who helped make it such a success.
Presentation slides are available below. We hope they continue to spark ideas and conversations in your work.
