Training
Someone once said that the answers for building sustainability is out there, it is now a matter of ensuring there is the political will, public demand, and a workforce with the skills.
Manitoba adopted the 2020 codes at Tier 1 in 2024, and the province’s tier framework is advancing from there. The 2025 national codes raise the baseline on insulation, mechanical, and lighting requirements, and Tier 2 requires a real, measurable jump in energy performance over that baseline. Whether you design, document, install, or inspect, these changes will show up in your work. This course gives you a clear, practical read on what’s shifting and what it means in practice, before it lands as a surprise on a project.
This FREE course will help prepare you for the changes to codes coming in June 2027.
SBM runs regular Lunch and Learns to help ensure that Manitoba’s building community is engaging with the most up-to-date technology and best practices to ensure Manitoba is built sustainably and resilient.
Knowing that if the codes changed tomorrow align with what is needed to build net-zero and beyond, Manitoba’s workforce would not have the necessary skills, SBM has convened a stakeholder group support education institutions in educating and upskilling trade workers. Please get in touch to learn more.
Check out SBM’s objectives to better understand the work being done.
SBM is working to compile workforce development and educational opportunities to build sustainably. You can help by completing this form.
