September Industry News

CHE At The HAVAN Golf Tournament!

What an incredible day at HAVAN’s Fall Classic Golf Tournament! We were proud to be one of the over 60+ sponsors this year and had a great time hosting a premium beverage hole + mini game. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to share a drink and a laugh with us, it truly made the day even more fun.

The sunshine, amazing company, and staff at the Swaneset Golf Club, set the stage for a memorable tournament. Congratulations to all the winners, and a big shoutout to former BC Lions, Marco Lanuzzi for bringing so much energy to the live auction in support of HAVAN’s BCIT Scholarships.

A huge thank you to HAVAN and all the sponsors who made this event possible. We can’t wait to see you back on the course next year: mark your calendars for September 9, 2026!

DEFINITION OF THE MONTH

Equivalent Leakage Area (ELA10)

The size of the hole, expressed in cm² or sq.in., through which would pass the same amount of air that passes through all of the air leakage holes in the building envelope at a pressure difference of 10 Pa.
Dividing the ELA by the building surface area would give the NLA, one of the metrics verified as part of VBBL & BC Energy Step Code air tightness compliance.

Please remember to book your mid construction and final blower door tests at least two weeks in advance!

Friendly reminder to anyone needing to book their blower door tests. Please give us a call or email us at manager@capitalhomeenergy.com two weeks in advance to ensure we can have you on the schedule. This will ensure a quicker turnaround time for your reports!We recommend contacting us for your mid-construction test when insulation has started.
