Ice Box Challenge and Passive House Industry Social scheduled for August 2
We have scheduled an industry–Ice Box Challenge social for Wednesday, August 2. Here is your opportunity to visit the Ice Box Challenge and see the changes that have occurred in the first week. Shaun St. Amour, who oversaw construction of the Ice Box Challenge installation, will present on how the Ice Box Challenge was developed and describe the construction process.
The structures, decks, benches, and ramps were built off-site at BCIT’s High-Performance Building Lab, then transferred with the help of Britco Construction a few days before the event’s July 27 launch to Vancouver’s Olympic Village Square. Come down and check out how each structure is handling the summer heat!
We are so grateful to all the supporters and contributors that assisted in making this event happen. Please join us.
After the discussion, we’ll convene informally next door at the Tap and Barrel Restaurant. We’ll try to wrap things up for those you will be heading to the fireworks.
Details:
Review construction details of the Ice Box Challenge – 6:30 to 7:30 PM, Olympic Village Plaza (just west of the Creekside Community Centre at 1 Athletes Way)
Socialize with Passive House enthusiasts – 7:30 to 8:30 PM, Tap and Barrel Restaurant (next to the Ice Box Challenge installation)
