Healthy Buildings in a Changing Climate, underscores the urgent need to retrofit existing buildings to protect Canadians' health and safety #retrofits #health #ClimateChange #extremeweather #wildfires #EnergyEfficiency #Canada http://www.pembina.org//pub/healthy-buildings-changing-climate
"#LivingBuildingChallenge or the #LBC has been around for a little while now, starting on the West Coast. I love this concept because it challenges the status quo and says what we need to do is have buildings that have the baseline of zero harm, zero impact & we build from that."

"Every study that you see on our overall emissions impacts, buildings are the biggest chunk of the pie. An additional problem is there's a #HousingCrisis. We need more buildings, more places for people to live. We have to build new things & convert buildings. We have to do more."

"Every building owner needs to conduct a funded #decarbonization plan including a comfort study of the occupants, an education plan on how they fit into that & roll that out. There are funding mechanisms available. Canadian Infrastructure Bank has got money available for that."

"If you're looking at designing anything, a new home, multifamily residential, a school, an office building, you can follow #PassiveHouse design which gives you very specific targets for each element you build with: windows, walls, roof, overall air tightness of the building."

"We need to #decarbonize every single existing building using #Heat Pumps, #solar panels & #retrofits over many years, well known & simple technology. Fantastic for job creation, makes buildings more resilient to extremes of weather, makes them more comfortable & cheaper to run."

"Well, we're pretty dumb when we come to how we design most buildings. There's somewhere close to a couple of billion buildings already out there in the world & various studies show that they're somewhere in the range of 40% of all of our emissions..." #Retrofits #GreenBuildings

"The feds have the purse strings but provincial has control over the rules of what you build & how you build it. Is it another thing where we've got a provincial blockade getting in the way of us really addressing the #BuildingEmissions component of our of our challenge?" #abpoli

"Buildings are a great big part of the #Climate challenge. What's the big idea? How do we get across the finish line? What kind of policies will get us there? We have to get to #NetZero by 2050 & there's a whole lot of bad results if we don't. How're we going to get there?"

"Increasingly we'll have no choice but to dramatically mitigate these emissions as the world goes from an already disastrous 1 degree of global heating to 1.5 and 2 degrees and beyond if we let it. The good news is the solutions exist."

"Knowing as we do how heavy a role our buildings, work places & homes play in our overall emissions I don't see how the governments of the world can avoid investing heavily in #HeatPumpsForAll citizens, not just some voluntary effort from the folks that can afford it."
