A new go-to database of Canada’s most popular enclosure assemblies has been launched by Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) and RDH as part of a funded project with The Atmospheric Fund (TAF).
This published data of enclosure assembly material quantities can be used to calculate embodied carbon before drawings exist, encouraging very early-stage design decisions for greater reductions.
The Building Decarbonization Alliance, Canada's voice for building decarbonization, is hosting an information session with Mariko Michasiw from the Building to Electrification Coalition (B2E) for people who would like an introduction to the BDA.
The BDA has more than 70 Partners working to reduce emissions in Canada’s building sector, including representatives from prominent businesses, industry associations, academic institutions, government organizations, and individuals.

Part 2/2
These workshop webinars will review important foundational knowledge for low-carbon buildings, with an emphasis on the latest versions of CAGBC’s Zero Carbon Building standards. The requirements for both new and existing buildings will be addressed. Topics include:
- The zero carbon balance,
- The zero carbon transition plan,
- Embodied carbon,
- Thermal Energy Demand Intensity (TEDI),
- Energy use Intensity (EUI),
- Peak demand, and
- Renewable energy

Building Benchmark BC is Canada’s largest voluntary building energy benchmarking program. The Year 3 Report, launched in February this year, highlights that roughly 25% of office buildings would need to take action to reduce their carbon emissions to meet the regulations requirements, which take effect in 2026.
Learn about how you can get ahead with Building Benchmark BC! This webinar will cover:
- An introduction to the program
- The benefits of participating
- How to participate
We hope to see you there!
