This project is co-chaired by Andreas Athienitis and Andrew Pape-Salmon, and informed by a scientific and policy advisory panel. In March 2019, the CAE assembled Thought Leaders from the professional community, construction industry, academia and three levels of government to begin to work on a national “Roadmap to Resilient, Ultra-Low Energy Built Environment with Deep Integration of Renewables in 2050”, with an aim to achieve at least an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in new and existing buildings and associated community infrastructure.
The key project deliverable will be the release of a “Roadmap” document with technical and policy options for five-levels of government (i.e., federal, provincial/territorial, Indigenous, regional, local) and the professional community to achieve the harmonious goals of decarbonization and resilience of buildings and community infrastructure by 2040.
