The City of Toronto’s key net zero strategies will require the owners of all buildings in Toronto to be net zero by 2040. The Better Buildings Partnership (BBP) offers a range of programs that provide funding, guidance and resources to help building owners improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions in residential, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings across Toronto.

BBP also offers year-round learning opportunities through webinars for building owners seeking practical guidance on how to decarbonize their buildings and improve energy performance.
