The Challenge Ahead

The operation of buildings accounts for roughly 28% of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. If countries and companies are going to meet the climate change commitments they have made, building owners will need to retrofit and decarbonize tens of thousands of buildings across North America.

While emissions from new buildings will be tackled through increasingly stringent energy codes and regulations, countries will not meet their goals if they do not address the existing building stock. “There are hundreds of millions of square feet of space that need to be retrofitted,” says Mark Henderson, PCL’s manager of Sustainable Retrofits and Decarbonization. “When you break that down into a number of projects per year, if we want to meet commitments that have been made, it's a staggering number.”

While the scale of the challenge is massive, so are the opportunities for owners to add value to and build resilience into their portfolios. Retrofits can be key to maintaining a competitive edge because they can improve a building’s market value and the revenue it can generate.
