Sustainable Building Manitoba 19.01.2021

According to Efficiency Canada’s new report card, Manitoba is below the national average when it comes to energy efficiency. In the 1990s Manitoba was one of the first jurisdictions to adopt efficiency measures and was a leader in North America in setting a progressive new direction for sustainable energy policies and practices. Other provinces are doing much better in switching from natural gas to electricity as a heating source. Manitoba has been slow to embrace switching ...from gas to electricity due to distribution and system capacity issues, and perhaps because increased electricity use for heating could reduce the amount of electricity we can export.

And now for a little bit of inspiration from Europe... BUILD UPON2 will empower cities across Europe to join forces with national governments and industry to decarbonize their existing building stock by 2050 to establish the Renovation Wave. The climate crisis demands we start the Renovation Wave now. And the economic fall-out from the COVID-19 pandemic makes that call all the more urgent as we look to the construction sector as a powerhouse to help us build a green recovery.
