Age is just a number!
Built in the 1930s and with its place in the Mayors’ Megawatt Challenge top decile of energy efficient municipal buildings, the iconic Vancouver City Hall has much to teach us about achieving and sustaining high standards of energy efficiency. On November 16th we heard from Craig Edwards, Manager of Energy & Carbon Strategy, about the policy, retrofits and management practices which brought them this far and the City’s plans for completing the progress to net zero emissions.

The truth is out there! Uncovering the design and operational practices of the most energy efficient buildings is driving continuous performance improvement and emissions reductions for all types of municipal facilities. Get the latest on the emerging performance metrics and lessons learned which are changing the game for new construction and facility operations in administration buildings and fire stations.
