L8.2Promote economic development in the green building industry

The transition to zero-carbon, resilient buildings provides significant economic development and job growth opportunities for the local community. Demand for low carbon materials and technologies will increase, alongside demand for skilled trades and design professionals to model energy performance, build high performance building envelopes and install zero-carbon technologies. This action will see City staff explore opportunities to promote economic development in the green building industry through partnerships with industry organizations and local incentive programs to support this market transformation.
