Energy Efficiency in Canada’s Commercial Building Sector – Vancouver Outreach Session – March 26, 2009

NRTEE-SDTC report on Energy Efficiency in Commercial Building Sector builds momentum among industry stakeholders eager to learn how to reduce emissions and increase energy efficiency

The National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy together with Sustainable Development Technology Canada presented “Geared for Change: Energy Efficiency in Canada’s Commercial Building Sector” at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

The report represents a major step in addressing the realities facing the commercial building sector in Canada as it moves to address challenges like emissions and energy consumption. It presents a viable carbon emission and energy efficiency policy pathway for the commercial building sector.

The event brought together 17 major players in the sector. Participants heard a first-hand presentation from some of the authors of the report, and then had a chance to ask questions and engage in discussions.
