8:30a.m.-10:00a.m.

Renewing existing buildings is one of the most effective strategies for advancing Canada’s decarbonization goals. This session highlights how renewal projects deliver measurable outcomes in carbon savings, operational energy reductions, and community impact. Through case studies, it explores performance benchmarking, salvage and reuse strategies, and innovative mechanical and envelope solutions that extend building life while aligning with climate action targets.

Learning Objectives
1. Understand methods for quantifying carbon savings in renewal.
2. Explore strategies for salvage, reuse, and waste reduction.
3. Identify mechanical and envelope solutions for decarbonization.
4. Apply transparent metrics to
demonstrate community impact.
