Decarb Lunch: Introducing Energize Vancouver

Join leaders from the City of Vancouver’s green and resilient buildings team as they introduce Energize Vancouver—the city's new online hub for information and resources on current and upcoming energy and carbon requirements for existing large commercial and multi-family buildings.

The City now requires the owners and managers of Vancouver's largest commercial buildings to report their properties’ energy and greenhouse gas intensity data. The deadline for the first round of reporting is June 1, 2024. The city's benchmarking requirements expand in 2024, then, starting in 2026, the City will require certain buildings to meet defined greenhouse gas intensity limits.

This webinar will introduce the Energize Vancouver initiative and resource hub, and outline the current reporting requirement. Bonus: We'll also welcome special guests from the City of Toronto and City of Montreal, both of which are similarly rolling out mandatory building performance benchmarking programs.

Thanks to the financial support of BC Hydro and the City of Vancouver, this event is free of charge!
