What a great day two at The Buildings Show! Our Property Management Roundtable: Building Decarbonization for 2025 was one of the many highlights of the day. Thank you to session panelists for sharing their expertise and actionable insights. Here are some high-level takeaways: 💡 Michael Pathak P.Eng, CEM, MASc, Toronto Hydro - Toronto Hydro’s electricity grid is ready for electrification. - The grid will expand prudently over time to support your needs. - Connect with Toronto Hydro early in your project planning for tailored electrification solutions. 💡 Rae Anne Miller, P.Eng, MBA, City of Toronto. - The City’s Building Emissions Performance Standards (BEPS) will set reasonable and achievable emissions targets. - Equity and affordability are guiding principles in BEPS development under the TransformTO framework. - New programs and resources will support compliance and enable voluntary retrofits beyond mandatory requirements. 💡 Ashley Jones, SOFIAC - Facility-wide approaches are the key to effective decarbonization. - Innovative financial solutions can help meet decarbonization goals while staying budget-neutral or even cash flow positive. - Decarbonization studies drive value when paired with immediate action. Moderated by Marlene Farias, JLL Canada. Thank you to all who attended and contributed to this engaging discussion on the path to decarbonization in property management. Together, we’re building a more sustainable future! 🌍 #BuildingDecarbonization #NetZero Caroline Karvonen
