Accelerating the efficient electrification of Canada’s buildings

Unlocking the potential of Canada’s buildings

As electric technologies reshape the global economy, it is increasingly clear that Canada’s future prosperity will be built on a foundation of abundant, affordable, and clean electricity. In that future, buildings are more than passive assets: they are critical infrastructure, storing and sharing heat and power while contributing to industrial competitiveness, affordability, and emissions reductions.

Preparing Canada’s buildings for the electrified economy calls for a new understanding of this $6 trillion asset class. Through our network of 300+ partners from across the sector and across the country, the Building Decarbonization Alliance is bringing together the vision, expertise and strategic coordination needed to meet this moment and modernize Canada’s buildings.
