April 28, 2022 – The Federal 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan outlines an ambitious goal of reducing carbon emissions across the country by 40% by 2030.

That was the motivation behind this special panel discussion “The Road to 2030: Trades Contractors and the Federal 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan”.

This plan also introduces the Canada Green Buildings Strategy, which will include new policy, programs, incentives and standards to drive a massive retrofit of existing building stock, and new construction to zero-carbon standards.

Among other construction sector players, this movement will heavily rely on electrical and mechanical specialists.

As a facility owner/operator, you should know what these specialized trades are expected to bring to the table of emissions reductions. WATCH NOW (below)
