SBM Social & AGM

Please join Sustainable Building Manitoba for our Annual General Meeting.

The AGM portion is usually rather quick, leaving plenty of time to connect and build relationships.

It is a great chance to catch up on all things sustainable building in Manitoba all while connecting and reconnecting with those in the community.

• Been curious about the Home Energy Use Map and Home Retrofit Guides projects? We'll have updates.
• Want to know about what we are planning advocacy wise? We'll tell you.
• Wondering about what is next for our Lunch and Learns and building tours? We'll share let you know.

This will also be where we will announce our new board members. Become a member now to vote online before the AGM.

Whether or not you are a member you are welcome to join in for learning and networking. If you are not a member now is a great time to become one as only members can vote for the AGM.

Sustaining Members also will get $20 off and Super Sustaining Members and Student members can attend for free.

Manitou a bi Bii daziigae (in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe)) is Red River College Polytechnic’s expansion of the Exchange District Campus, and the first RRC Polytech building to receive an Indigenous name. Manitou a bi Bii daziigae was previously known as the Innovation Centre project.

Manitou a bi Bii daziigae is on track to be RRC Polytech’s fourth LEED-certified building, with a goal of 100 energy use intensity and a near net zero efficiency.

Part of Manitou a bi Bii daziigae’s design includes Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) that have been installed along the exterior. Designed by SwissINSO, the coloured panels — called Kromatix — absorb and conduct energy while also protecting the building from the elements. This installation is the first of its kind in Canada, and will reduce energy consumption by an estimated 15 per cent.

Thanks to energy efficient technologies — including Power Over Ethernet lighting, Smart LSI Breakers, Wi-Fi outlets and BIPVs — the renewable energy produced will also power the building.
