What's Next for Building Energy Codes in Saskatchewan?
We’re excited to share that two members of the Airtight Engineering team will be presenting at an upcoming speaker series hosted by the Saskatchewan Energy Management Task Force (EMTF). This session will explore one of the most important—and often misunderstood—topics in the building industry today: energy codes in Saskatchewan and what’s coming next.
Event Details
🔹Date:
Wednesday, April 1
🔹Location:
In person at Confederation Inn (3330 Fairlight Dr, Saskatoon) or online

Hosted by EMTF, this session brings together professionals across the province to stay informed on evolving energy standards and best practices.
What the Presentation Will Cover
Canada’s building code system is robust—but navigating it isn’t always straightforward, especially with provincial variations.
In this session, we’ll cover:
The current state of building energy codes in Saskatchewan
Key differences from national model codes
Upcoming 2025 code changes and what they could mean locally
How tiered energy performance works in practice
Real-world insights on costs, incentives, and implementation, including a case study
Whether you're a builder, developer, or consultant, this is a chance to better understand where things are heading—and how to prepare.
