This report by RDH Building Science in collaboration with Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors was released by Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) in December 2021. The report evaluates the potential pathways to decarbonized building operations, including the estimated deep carbon retrofit costs for Large Buildings. Nearly all office building archetypes can reach net zero carbon operations, while at the same time achieving a positive net present value. The authors highlight that large building retrofits can reduce building-sector emissions by up to 51 per cent (21.2 million tons), the report notes.
