Ottawa city council has delayed implementation of a high performance standard for new buildings
They are waiting for Ontario to update the building code, but as explained in this @EfficiencyCAN post - Ontario isn’t keeping up with modern code design

A strong Green Buildings Strategy in 🇨🇦 can:
⬆️ energy efficiency
⬇️ costs
⬇️ carbon emissions
But existing federal programs have upfront costs, limiting help for low-income families. By targeting support, @NRCan can help fill the gap.

Funding for low-income energy efficiency should be a central part of the Green Buildings Strategy!
Please sign @EfficiencyCAN 's email to Minister Wilkinson – let’s ensure this issue is taken seriously: ow.ly/LqeP50OhmKR

There are lots of energy efficiency actions the province can do to make hitting every renewable target easier
