Net Zero
NetZero buildings are designed to produce as much energy as they consume, achieving a balance through innovative technologies and sustainable practices.
By incorporating renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines, these buildings generate clean, green energy that offsets their consumption. This approach not only significantly reduces the carbon footprint but also contributes to energy independence and cost savings in the long run. NetZero buildings often feature advanced insulation, energy-efficient windows, and smart systems for heating, cooling, and lighting, further minimizing energy use.
Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan is a comprehensive strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy efficiency across the province. Key components include setting emission reduction targets, investing in renewable energy, implementing energy efficiency programs, encouraging sustainable transportation, and introducing green building standards. The plan also incorporates carbon pricing mechanisms, climate resilience strategies, and public engagement initiatives. By fostering a low-carbon economy and enhancing climate resilience, Ontario aims to create a sustainable and resilient future for its residents and the environment.
The Toronto Green Standard (TGS) sets sustainable design requirements and performance measures for new developments in Toronto. It aims to enhance environmental sustainability by promoting energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air and water quality, and encouraging sustainable transportation. Key components include high-performance building design, green roofs, stormwater management, and reduced urban heat island effects. The TGS ensures new developments contribute to a healthier, greener city by incorporating environmentally responsible practices and technologies.
Incentives and Rebates provide financial support to homeowners and builders aiming to achieve NetZero standards. Programs like GreenON rebates offer monetary incentives for energy-efficient upgrades, such as installing solar panels, high-performance windows, and advanced insulation. These incentives help offset the costs of sustainable improvements, making it easier for individuals and businesses to invest in environmentally friendly technologies and practices, ultimately promoting the adoption of NetZero buildings.
