Federal government to invest $3 million towards green construction projects in Alberta
“The operations of our buildings account for 20 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada and as high as two-thirds of emissions in Alberta’s largest cities,” said Tonya Doran, chairwoman of SSRIA, in a release. “Through industry collaboration and innovation, we will develop and disseminate validated solutions to reduce emissions by building higher performing buildings.”
