City of Toronto Net Zero Existing Buildings Strategy
In 2021 City of Toronto released their Net Zero Existing Buildings Strategy which was recently adopted by Toronto City Council. Some of the key policy actions outlined in the strategy aim to decarbonize all existing residential, commercial and institutional buildings by 2040. To achieve this goal there will be a shift in the way energy is used in this city.
The City of Toronto staff will present on the following:
TransformTO – Overarching strategy for the city of Toronto to lower carbon
Existing Building Strategy – 9 recommendations taken to council and adopted including policy, regulations and by-laws
Programs – Support mechanisms put in place to help buildings achieve lower carbon
A question and answer period will follow on the topic of the Strategy and support mechanisms around this target.
