Planning and Selecting GHG Projects

Online

"Organizations that own and operate buildings are increasingly setting aggressive targets to reduce their GHG emissions. These targets are driven by factors such as increasing carbon taxes, carbon pollution limits, corporate social responsibility, and tenant demands. Additionally, extreme heat and wildfire events are pushing us to create more climate resilient buildings. To meet these aggressive targets, many organizations are shifting their focus from energy efficiency measures to decarbonization projects. These projects involve more stakeholders, higher costs, and more complex technical and operational considerations. Planning for a low carbon transition and selecting decarbonization projects can be complicated. Where do we start? Which projects or buildings should we prioritize? How do we determine the best path to decarbonize our portfolios? This course guides participants through the process of selecting the best path. Case studies are used to illustrate important decarbonization project considerations and success factors. Visit cietcanada.com to learn more about this course and to register (website link below) "

Sustainable Residential Buildings: How Greening our Buildings Could Create 72,000+ Construction Jobs by 2032

Online

The issue of climate change has become a pressing concern worldwide, and Canada is no exception. To combat climate change, the federal government is targeting greenhouse gas emissions reductions of 40% from 2005 levels by 2030 and net-zero by 2050. A key to meeting these ambitious targets will be retrofitting existing buildings away from fossil-fuel-powered heating equipment. BuildForce Canada’s Building a Greener Future report estimates the labour market implications for construction from this transition over the coming decade. Click here to register.
