Scott Gibson, in his blog Pandemic Packs a Wallop for Construction gave us a link to Online Learning Resources that could help many of us increase our knowledge of our industry. So I got to think, during the stay-in-place order due to the Coronavirus, how many other resources, besides the GBA, are available for most of us to take advantage of? I figure we all could start adding to the list for educational resources. So can you help us add to the list? Any manufacturers? Trades?

Armando,
Great idea! Here is a link to the guides put out by the government of BC:

That's a lot of good info Malcolm, and very useful in BC as much as anywhere "down here", since all the basic concepts can be applied. Thanks.
I'll email you an annotated reading list from an adult ed Building Science course I led last year.
Attached is Robert's contribution... lots of good stuff. Thanks.
The South-central Partnership for Energy Efficiency as a Resource (SPEER), is a regional energy efficiency organization (REEO) that aims to accelerate the adoption of advanced building systems and energy efficient products and services in TX and OK, but I think their webinars can be of help to others outside this region.

Thanks again Armando.
Same to you. I'm very impressed with BC's Residential Design & Construction Guides. There is some great educational information and videos for everyone to apply in any climate zone.
With all that's going on I hope y0u don't have much of a hurricane season this year.
