Transforming Canada’s buildings for good
Green buildings are a proven choice for a better, more prosperous and resilient future. They reduce energy and water use, cut waste, and are more affordable to operate. By building green, we can create good jobs and encourage climate-friendly innovations. Today, advances in green building can reduce carbon emissions and eliminate environmental impacts, making communities more resilient and helping Canada meet its climate targets.
