This course will explore recent trends in smart home technology for residential construction with a specific focus on windows and doors. We will look at the wide range of options available to architects designing a smart home, and how these choices can impact the health, safety,well-being, and peace of mind of the occupants. Lastly, we will discuss how architects can incorporate home automation into their design process and how collaboration with smart home integrators can be beneficial to the entire project team.
Discover how Exterior Architectural Metal (EAM) systems enhance building performance, aesthetics, and sustainability while streamlining installation. This course explores traditional, pre-engineered, and custom solutions, guiding you through product selection, installation methods, and their role in meeting green building standards. Gain valuable insights into how EAM systems improve efficiency and elevate modern design.
Assessing embodied carbon impacts throughout a building’s life cycle is a necessary step in a shift towards regenerative and lower carbon design. The Canadian built environment is the third-highest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and there is an urgent and critical need to accelerate the knowledge, skills and competencies of professionals who design Canada’s buildings.
To address this need, the RAIC is partnering with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in a one-year rapid-deployment project to train members of the Canadian architectural community through a high quality, hand-on case study-based Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) curriculum.
Whole building LCA provides an estimate of the total GHG emissions associated with a building. This includes emissions due to operations and defined as the emissions associated with the extraction, manufacturing, transport, installation, replacement, and the end of service life for products and materials used in a building, which constitute a significant proportion of a building’s whole life carbon emissions.
Join us on a guided tour of two innovative wood construction projects.
Our first stop will be a six-storey modular residential development, pushing the envelop into modern building design. The second will showcase a landmark mass timber addition at the Confederation Centre of the Arts. This is a rare opportunity to meet the developer, engage with the architects, and gain firsthand insights into these transformative projects.

Welcome to our Technical Seminar! Join us for day of presentations, insightful discussions and networking opportunities. Whether you're a seasoned design professional or just starting in the industry, this seminar is perfect for anyone looking to expand their knowledge about upcoming changes to the building code, such as fire code, R values, design and how that will affect planning for the roofing industry. Non-proprietary presentations on wind uplift and flame less roofing applications will round out our day.
Don't miss this chance to learn from NS industry experts, connect with like-minded individuals, and stay updated on the latest trends and developments affecting our industry. The event will be held at The Westin Nova Scotian, and worth 3 Continuing Education credits. Lunch is included.
Join us for an inspiring day dedicated to the future of wood construction and sustainable design in Canada! Whether you’re a seasoned professional, an emerging designer, or simply passionate about innovative building solutions, this event is your opportunity to connect, learn, and lead in the evolving world of wood construction.
