Speaker Update: We’re pleased to announce that Darryl Neate, Vice President, Sustainability at REALPAC, has been added to our upcoming webinar! Darryl will provide an overview of REALPAC’s report, Building Performance Standards – Recommendations for Canadian Policy Makers, exploring key recommendations around aligning BEPS targets with emissions within owners’ control, avoiding regulatory fragmentation, and addressing economic impacts.
As municipalities advance EWRB and BEPS, understanding the commercial real estate sector’s perspectives, challenges, and support needs will be important to effective implementation. In this webinar, we’ll hear from Caroline Karvonen, Vice President, Sustainability & Stakeholder Relations at BOMA Toronto, who will share insights from the commercial real estate sector on how municipalities can use these policy levers to support improved building performance.
The discussion will highlight key implementation considerations, including barriers and challenges to energy reporting, access to reliable data, the role of utilities and municipalities, how recognition programs can complement regulatory tools, and the importance of reducing administrative burden for building owners and managers.
