The Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC) has launched its third edition of its Zero Carbon Building – Design Standard.
The Zero Carbon Building Standards is part of a larger CaGBC Zero Carbon Building Initiative that was created to champion the move to lower-carbon commercial, institutional and high-rise residential buildings in support of Canada’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2030. Members may want to become familiar with the options provided in incentivizing projects to eliminate combustion and lower cost.
The full requirements are now publically available in the official Zero Carbon Building Standard, which can be downloaded from the CaGBC website by visiting cagbc.org/zerocarbon. You can also learn more in the OAA’s Climate Action webpages.
