A joint study prepared by the Real Property Association of Canada (REALPAC), the CAGBC | Canada Green Building Council, and the PLACE Centre calls for concerted action to accelerate the process of decarbonizing commercial buildings in Canada. "The commercial real estate industry is ready to lead, but success will depend on strong partnerships across government, utilities, tenants, the appraisal community, financial institutions, and the private sector," Michael Brooks, CEO of REALPAC, said in a release. His remarks were echoed by Thomas Mueller, president and CEO of CAGBC: "This report provides a clear roadmap for aligning government incentives, leveraging innovative technologies, and driving market demand to achieve net-zero emissions at scale." "Decarbonizing Canada's buildings is not just an environmental imperative but an economic opportunity. By addressing these barriers, we can create jobs, drive innovation and position Canada as a leader in the future low-carbon economy," Mike Moffatt, PhD, founding director of the PLACE Centre, said in a release. #greenbuildings #sustainability #decarbonization #commercialrealestate #Canada https://lnkd.in/ecFrCVJD
