What Municipalities Need to Know about Canada’s Net-Zero Emissions Building Codes shows how to use the upcoming net-zero emissions codes as a lever to accelerate climate action. Each section of the guide offers concise information related to the development of Canada’s national net-zero emissions building codes, and key factors that must be considered in its development and implementation.

🔑 Key insights:

• Municipalities need to take immediate action related
  to building decarbonization.
• The places we live, work, play, and gather in account for 13%
