Zero Carbon

Recently, CAGBC’s Zero Carbon Steering Committee (ZCSC) met to welcome returning and new members, and to thank departing members for their contributions. The ZCSC guides the industry’s carbon ambitions by directing the Zero Carbon Building (ZCB) program and standards.

  • Wendy MacDonald (New Chair)
  • Ali Hoss

  • Fin MacDonald
  • Jag Singh
  • Kim Rishel
  • Marc-Antoine Chenail

  • Douglas Webber
  • Iain MacFadyen
  • Lisa Westerhoff
  • Matt Cable
