You are invited to provide feedback on changes we are proposing to the Vancouver Building By-law, the Green Building Policy for Rezoning, and the City of Vancouver’s Energy Modelling Guidelines as a set of changes for Part 3 large new construction titled "Climate Emergency New Buildings Updates" being presented to City Council for May 18th, 2022. These changes include reductions in carbon limits (GHGI) for new buildings to electrify service water heating, embodied carbon reporting and reductions targets, inclusion of air filtration and air conditioning for residential applications, and to encourage the selection of refrigerants with low-global-warming potential for HVAC applications.

*This session focuses on the changes related to embodied carbon**
