There’s no doubt about it: the Canadian building industry and building science in general are booming with no signs of slowing down. If anything, the challenge lies within not enough of a workforce to do all the jobs<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The Canadian housing industry is currently undergoing a massive scale transformation that lends itself nicely for a new wave of building professionals to emerge. This new landscape of building better homes is creating a huge opportunity for new graduates looking for viable work. As the nature of this work changes aims to be more sustainable with a greater focus on the whole home as a system, new skills are required to keep up with the ever-growing Canadian housing demand and retrofit market.<\/span><\/p>\n Due to the influx of technology and career opportunities that this field offers, the workforce is evolving. Building science is quickly becoming a career that is in high demand and it is more accessible than ever before. Programs are offered at colleges\/universities across the country, readying young professional for the new challenges of the building industry – challenges that we at NAIMA Canada are prepared to tackle with some help from our own on-staff building science technologist, who himself is a recent graduate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
