A New Approach to Building Decarbonization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Canada’s building sector produces 18% of our greenhouse gas emissions. More than three quarters of that comes from combusting fossil fuels for space and water heating. With emissions from the sector continuing to rise, it’s clear that Canada needs a new approach to decarbonization.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Building Decarbonization Alliance, we believe that the most credible, capable, and compelling pathways to building decarbonization will consist of the wide-scale adoption of a full spectrum of electric technologies\u2014especially heat pumps in all of their forms and applications. Our work aims to provide the tools, analysis, and connections needed to speed up the adoption of those technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Mission <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We work to accelerate the electrification of Canada\u2019s buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Vision <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A future where electrified buildings are part of an affordable and resilient energy system that contributes to a prosperous, sustainable, and decarbonized Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our work <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We convene conversations across and between industry, government, utilities, and civil society to identify structural barriers to electrification, and work with our partners to overcome them. We also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
