CPD Opportunity – Building Smart Webinar – Designing Homes for All Ages in a Post Pandemic World

With a rapidly aging population in British Columbia, the demand for age-friendly and accessible housing is rising fast.  How can we design homes that meet the needs of seniors and those with disabilities while adapting to trends like climate change, remote work, and multi-generational living?

Join us to explore emerging trends in age and accessibility-friendly housing design, updates to the 2024 building code, and the changing ways that we are using our homes to live and work.  Plus, earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits while gaining valuable insights! Details on the exact CPD hours will be confirmed closer to the event.

What you’ll learn:

• The Business Case:  Why investing in age-friendly and accessible housing makes sense
• Building Code Insights:  The technical requirements in the 2024 BC Building Code related to adaptable housing
