Climate Emergency

The buildings sector needs to take urgent action

According to the Canada's 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan, for Canada to reach net‑zero by 2050 the emissions from buildings need to be reduced by over 47 Megatonnes (mt) of GHG emissions. To meet this goal, the buildings sector needs to take urgent action to decarbonize operations. Benchmarking your building(s) and eliminating energy waste is the place to start.

Mapping Durham's Buildings

Publicly disclosing energy use

Building maps (data visualizations), offer a dynamic representation of buildings in Durham Region. The maps include building information and energy metrics. These user-friendly interactive visualizations can help us better understand energy-efficient practices in Durham's built environment.
