W39 // Construction Keynote: How is Procurement Evolving and Modernizing?
Wednesday, February 12 • 3:00pm–4:00pm • Room 220/222 • $50
The traditional procurement approach of demonstrating experience combined with
‘on time, on budget’ delivery isn’t good enough anymore. Now, the architecture,
engineering, and construction industry is being held to a higher standard. Policies
are changing. Environmental responsibilities are rising. And the need to measure,
evaluate, and benchmark existing practices to understand how we can evolve
is more important than ever. Join our panelists as they discuss how they’re
tackling the next generation of procurement with topics including: Early partner
engagement; Provincial and Federal policy changes; The influence of the climate
crisis; procurement approaches being used abroad; Lessons from public sector
procurement practices.

The Circular Economy is an economic system aimed at

potential, in a closed loop cycle. Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA) are used to assess the environmental impacts
of goods, services and organizations from a life cycle
perspective - from the extraction of raw materials
to manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal. An
LCA can be used to ensure circularity is achieved with
low environmental impact. Learn how environmental
impacts from LCA studies are leveraged when

has grown to become a leader
and an authority in passive,
sustainable, zero-energy and
SUPPORTED BY
carbon-neutral buildings. A2M has
helped promote Passive House
architecture by becoming the lead
policy consultants for Brussels — the first city in the
world to introduce the Passive House standard into the
municipality’s building code. Since the Passive House
standard is mandatory for all new buildings in Belgium,
A2M is now thinking about the crucial next step:
starting with Passive House principles, how can we
achieve carbon neutrality in our cities? And beyond that,
how can we conceive buildings where each element
contributes to a regenerating permanent cycle?
Facing demographic and high-density issues in our
growing cities, the roadmap to carbon neutrality must
include a new type of construction that regenerates
the environment, produces more energy than it
consumes, cleans the air and compensates for the
CO2 footprint of our cities. A2M’s concept Permacity
is incremental, it is the application at an urban scale
of a systemic and global concept. This future-proofing
approach to architecture builds an interrelated
system where nothing is added nor wasted. This
way of conceiving buildings will not only provide a
climate neutral impact, but will also provide urban
benefits in numerous aspects: health, social, cultural,
biodiversity, depollution etc. Building without caring
cannot be an option anymore.

are a poor economic and environmental fit across our
country. Mechanical Engineering Principal Jeff Rent and
Building Performance Engineer Sam Lane present their

Wed, Feb. 12 • 10:30am–12:00pm • Room 215/216 • $60
In this session, you will learn how to embrace risk and
critically evaluate your projects. You will gain a greater
understanding of how the construction team can work
together to evaluate risk by looking at the following
topics through the lens of the developer, designer and
consultant:
• Cost vs Performance – Evaluating the risk due to the
building climate (inside and out)
• When to push for the “best”, or when is “good” good
enough
• Constructability – It looks good on paper, but can you
build it?
• When to use “the latest and greatest” with respect to
new systems and materials

Wed, Feb. 12 • 11:15am–12:15pm • PerformEX Stage • $50
The Circular Economy is an economic system aimed at
minimizing waste and utilizing resources to their fullest
potential, in a closed loop cycle. Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA) are used to assess the environmental impacts
of goods, services and organizations from a life cycle
perspective - from the extraction of raw materials
to manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal. An
LCA can be used to ensure circularity is achieved with
low environmental impact. Learn how environmental
impacts from LCA studies are leveraged when
comparing circular economy strategies in building
design and management decisions.

of climate risk events which contribute to overland
flooding, such as increased precipitation, storm events,
and sea level rise.
In order to understand risks to existing properties,
infrastructure, and new developments, we will begin
by establishing a common lexicon for terms such as
climate vulnerability, risk ratings, mitigation, and
adaptation. We will then discuss overland flooding

will unpack the concept of “physiological architecture,”
and its implications for industry professionals. What
could we gain from considering how illumination levels,
wavelengths, and perceived colour impact our health,
mood, productivity, and cognitive acuity? How can we
account for human biology and the science of light when
designing to support the well-being of occupants and
users?
Come be part of the conversation and discuss how we
can further evolve the built environment

W20 // Three Perspectives on Circular
Economy: Material Health, LCA and
Zero Waste
Wed, Feb. 12 • 11:15am–12:15pm • PerformEX Stage • $50
The Circular Economy is an economic system aimed at
minimizing waste and utilizing resources to their fullest
potential, in a closed loop cycle. Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA) are used to assess the environmental impacts
of goods, services and organizations from a life cycle
perspective - from the extraction of raw materials
to manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal. An
LCA can be used to ensure circularity is achieved with
low environmental impact. Learn how environmental
impacts from LCA studies are leveraged when
comparing circular economy strategies in building
design and management decisions.

Wed, Feb. 12 • 1:00pm–2:00pm • Room 206/207 • $50
The BC climate is changing, and with it the impacts
of climate risk events which contribute to overland
flooding, such as increased precipitation, storm events,
and sea level rise.
In order to understand risks to existing properties,
infrastructure, and new developments, we will begin
by establishing a common lexicon for terms such as
climate vulnerability, risk ratings, mitigation, and
adaptation. We will then discuss overland flooding
through a combined high-level strategic and technical
solutions lens with the goal of reducing risk for the
duration of the building or infrastructure’s life cycle.

Another woodwork project, another
SUPPORTED BY
disappointing result. Talk about
frustrating! After all the time put
into detailing your drawings and
including all the information needed,
you still did not end up with the result you anticipated.
This session is designed to help you end that cycle,
reduce your stress level when drawing and specifying
architectural woodwork, and put you in control of the
outcome. We’ll look at some of the most common issues
that interior designers encounter and provide tips, tricks
