Buildings are the top greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters by sector, but also, they also provide a greater opportunity for municipalities to reduce their emissions. Benchmarking allows for the identification of opportunities for change to improve the efficiency or effectiveness of municipal services. Additionally, tracking the building’s energy saves money. Broader Public Sector (BPS) buildings in Ontario, which include municipally owned buildings, schools, hospitals and more, are required to report energy use and GHG emissions annually.
In this webinar, Kyle Mennie, from Windfall Centre, will present their BPS Building Comparison Map and share more about the ClimateWise Building Challenge – Targeting to benchmark over 1300 commercial and institutional buildings in York and Durham over the next 3 years.
