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!
