Green Skyline will showcase some of the most innovative and progressive green buildings throughout BC.  Come learn how we can reduce our impact on the natural world enormously by changing the way we build and occupy buildings.  You'll learn about green features and systems, the costs and benefits of building green, and how you can incorporate sustainable features into your home or project.

Background:

As of July 2009, BC has 45 LEED certified buildings, which is more per capita than any other province in Canada. BC is leading in other ways as well. The provincial government has also committed BC to having its operations "carbon neutral" by 2010; having all new public buildings minimum LEED Gold or equivalent and achieving Greenhouse Gas reductions for the province of 33 per cent below 2007 levels by 2020. However, since last year's Green Skyline tours, Ontario has passed BC in terms of absolute numbers of projects, with 61 LEED projects, which certainly shows the need for greater public and industry understanding of the benefits of these buildings. This year's Vancouver tours are offered as either bike tours or walking tours.
