Workforce Needs for Energy Efficient Buildings

The building sector presents a unique opportunity to help Canada reach net-zero by 2050. To achieve this, the sector and its workforce must evolve to meet the demands for energy efficiency within new and existing commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential buildings. This session focuses on the capacity of the building sector’s current workforce and the gaps that need to be filled as Canada’s buildings transition to becoming more energy efficient.
