The National Building Decarbonization Forum: Insights Into Action will unpack the challenges and opportunities in reducing emissions from the building sector, and develop a shared vision for action through engaging discussions, information exchange, and opportunities to connect with other professionals committed to moving Canada's building sector towards its emissions goals.

Our Buildings program director, Kevin Lockhart, will moderate Setting the Rules: How Policy Creates Certainty and Pressure on November 27. This session examines three regulatory tools shaping the future:

  • Equipment standards: Phasing out inefficient tech (e.g., AC to heat pumps)
  • Performance standards: Building Performance Standards for existing stock
  • Prescriptive codes: Future-ready construction requirements
