The method of construction and design in North America has not changed much in the past 100 years. Guido examines the reasons why this needs to change, and argues for a new approach which can keep up with more demanding energy efficiency requirements. Dr. Guido Wimmers is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Master of Engineering in Integrated Wood Design program at the University of Northern British Columbia. He holds a Master Degree in Architectural Engineering and a PhD in Engineering Science from the University of Innsbruck. Guido is a Registered Architect in the EU and a Professional Engineer in British Columbia.

He was pivotal in the implementation of higher energy efficiency goals in Canadian design and construction practice.

Guido is one of the initiators of Canada’s first Passive House and Canada’s first application of cross-laminated timber and dowel-laminated timber. In 2010, Guido became the co-founder and managing director of the Canadian Passive House Institute, today’s Passive House Canada.
