For this critical decade of climate action Canada must work collectively to lower carbon emissions in order to meet the country’s global commitments. The building industry is responsible for 17 per cent of all GHG emissions – but that number can be as high as 30 per cent if one accounts for embodied carbon from construction materials and processes.
The event will explore how the industry embeds embodied carbon minimization into the design process. The morning with feature a presentation of the newly launched Version Two of the Zero Carbon Building Standard which introduces greater flexibility to support the goal of transforming all buildings to zero carbon while ensuring higher performance by raising the bar on key metrics, including embodied carbon, energy efficiency, and innovation.
The event will include educational presentations, an interactive moderated panel and networking opportunities.
