In today’s DiscoverEE session we will look at the role energy efficiency plays in achieving carbon neutral infrastructure. Econoler will provide answers on why we need to reach carbon neutrality and even carbon negativity and how energy efficiency compares with other pillars of carbon neutral strategies.

The places we live, work, play, and gather are a critical piece of Canada’s transition to a net zero economy. This points to a new role for building energy codes that is exemplified in Canada’s proposed 2020 national model codes.
To help accelerate the adoption of these advanced building energy codes, Efficiency Canada has developed Codes4Climate: A Building Code Advocacy Toolkit for those interested in reducing energy use and emissions in the buildings sector including municipalities, energy code advocates, policymakers, and builders.

Launched in 2020, Workforce 2030 is Canada’s first and only coalition supporting low-carbon workforce development across the building industry, unions and education providers. This presentation will provide an overview of Workforce 2030 and its work, with highlights of a new project to transition COVID-impacted workers into green building.
