25 April 2019
The ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Energy Institute's Dr Ian Hamilton has contributed to a communiqué, published on 23 April 2019, detailing how Canada can move towards a significant reduction in greenhouse gasses from buildings over the next 30 years.
On 22 March 2019, a high-level group of thought leaders from across Canada representing engineering, construction, academia and all levels of government came together to launch the process of building a national ‘Roadmap to Resilient, Ultra-Low Energy Built Environment with Deep Integration of Renewables in 2050’.ÌýThe aim of the discourse and roadmap is to support Canada’s aim of achieving at least an 80% reduction in greenhouse gasÌýemissions from new and existing buildings by 2050.
