Ontario's Green Development Standards are at the forefront of promoting sustainable, low-carbon construction. These standards are currently mandatory in just over a dozen or so municipalities across Ontario, with City Of Hamilton, Ontario being the latest to adopt green building standards. Last month, Council endorsed the Green Building Standards. The Green Building Standards (GBS) will apply to all site plan and plan of subdivision applications for low density residential (more than 10 units), mid rise residential, high rise residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional development within the City’s Urban Area.

#Building a Greener Tomorrow: How Green Building Standards Are Shaping #Sustainable Construction" In simple terms, green building #standards are like rulebooks for constructing eco-friendly buildings that are kinder to the environment. These rules guide builders on how to make buildings that use resources wisely, don't harm #nature, and are healthy for people living or working inside. Imagine these rules as a guide for architects, engineers, and builders, showing them how to design and construct buildings that save energy, use water wisely, keep the air inside clean and fresh, and pick materials that are good for the Earth. By following these guidelines, buildings become more than just places to live or work; they become part of a bigger effort to protect our planet. From the moment they're planned to long after they're built, these green buildings are designed to make as little impact on the environment as possible. #Bank of #America #Tower is one such great example for more details please refer below article. #strategy #business #Sustainaility

HEMANTH LINGAMGUNTA Integrating green building methods into historic preservation projects involves several strategies: 1. Energy Efficiency Upgrades: Implement modern energy-efficient systems while preserving original features, such as installing interior storm windows to improve thermal performance without altering the exterior appearance. 2. Use of Sustainable Materials: Select eco-friendly materials for repairs and renovations that match the historic character of the building, minimizing environmental impact. 3. Passive Design Techniques: Utilize existing architectural features like operable windows and awnings to enhance natural ventilation and reduce energy consumption. 4. Renewable Energy Solutions: Incorporate solar panels or green roofs discreetly to maintain aesthetic integrity while improving energy efficiency. 5. Adaptive Reuse: Repurpose historic buildings for new uses, ensuring that modifications respect the original structure and materials, thereby extending their lifespan and reducing waste. These practices not only preserve cultural heritage but also contribute to sustainability goals [1][2][3][4].
