A New Approach to Building Decarbonization
Launched in 2023 by The Transition Accelerator, the Building Decarbonization Alliance is dedicated to unlocking the benefits of electrification for Canada’s building sector. Together with more than 300 organizations and individuals from across the entire building ecosystem, we’re developing pathways to a future where all Canadians can benefit from efficient, electrified buildings at work and at home.
Our Mission
We work to accelerate the electrification of Canada’s buildings.
Our Vision
A future where electrified buildings are part of an affordable and resilient energy system that contributes to a prosperous, competitive, and decarbonized Canada.
Our work
The BDA brings together industry, government, utilities, academia, and civil society under one umbrella to identify barriers to building decarbonization, co-develop solutions, and mobilize action. As a non-partisan, pan-Canadian organization, we conduct original analysis, amplify the research of others, and develop tools to provide transparent, evidence-based perspectives on issues facing the building sector.
We also bring the sector together in more literal ways. Events like our flagship National Building Decarbonization Forum create space for leading voices in the building ecosystem to share lessons learned and best practices with peers from across the country, catalyzing new ideas and new collaborations.
