CaGBC’s Building Lasting Change (BLC) 2023 (green building)

CaGBC’s annual Building Lasting Change conference and expo is billed as Canada’s largest green building event. From engineers, architects, and designers, to builders, manufacturers, policy advisors and real estate decision makers, BLC is where Canada’s building sector is inspired to do more, go further, and aim higher in sustainability efforts. For Canada to meet its climate goals, the building sector must focus on decarbonization as part of their green building strategies. BLC’s targeted sessions will encourage active participation as we uncover and demystify the solutions needed to significantly reduce carbon emissions in Canada’s large buildings. Recognized experts will share their knowledge, examine practical solutions, and explore the policies, standards, and strategies needed for decarbonization. Topics include decarbonizing the value chain, strategies for resiliency and risk mitigation, the impact of standards, codes and carbon valuation on decision making, and accessing capital to accelerate retrofits. Also featured are green building tours, networking opportunities and a Gala Dinner and Celebration. Attendees can join in person at the LEED Gold certified JW Marriott Parq in Vancouver or online as a virtual attendee.
