This report outlines policies that require on-site renewable energy generation for homes and buildings. These types of policies have been used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, raise awareness about climate change solutions, alleviate energy poverty, spur the deployment of distributed renewable energy technologies, and support the businesses and jobs that accompany those technologies.
The research includes policies that take performance-based and prescriptive approaches. The report is part of the Pembina Institute's Green Building Leaders project.
