New online courses support Manitoba’s transition to higher energy performance tiers

RRC Polytech is set to support professionals across the building design, construction, and code compliance sectors take their practice to the next level – while fostering a greener future for all. 

The Polytech’s Corporate Solutions department has partnered with the Province of Manitoba to provide online Energy Code courses, fully funded through the Government of Canada’s Codes Acceleration Fund (CAF). There are currently seven courses available, with more to come in the future. 

The free courses provide practical, industry-focused training to help professionals interpret, apply and comply with evolving energy code requirements. 

“Energy performance requirements continue to evolve, and industry needs training that supports consistent interpretation and application of energy codes,” said Emmanuel Abba, Manager of Business Development at RRC Polytech. “These courses are designed to support the adoption of higher‑performance building and energy codes, strengthen compliance, and help build market readiness across Manitoba as requirements continue to advance.” 

This training is designed for individuals and organizations involved in building design, construction, and code compliance, including: 

• Architects, engineers, and geoscientists 

• Technologists and technicians 

• Building officials and municipal governments 

• Trades and apprentices 

• First Nations governments 

• Educators, trainers, and industry associations 

The courses are delivered fully online, and take three to 32 hours to complete, depending on the course. They and are geared towards both new professionals and experienced practitioners. 

The initiative aims to train more than 4,000 participants across Manitoba over two years.
