Timeline: 2022 onwards
Pickering’s new Integrated Sustainable Design Standards (ISDS) were approved by the council in September 2022.
These new standards reflect the innovative green best practices and technology of today and will assist the city in implementing and achieving its sustainable community vision through the development approval process.
The city’s standards will give building owners and homeowners the opportunity to experience the benefits of sustainable homes, such as reduced energy and water costs through improved efficiency. The ISDS focuses on important elements such as urban heat island reduction, healthy street trees, bicycle and electric vehicle infrastructure, outdoor amenity space, accessibility, resiliency to climate change, waste management, resident education, and bird-friendly design.
