I would love to see a coalition of municipalities work together to put pressure on the Ontario government to incorporate sustainable building design into the Ontario Building Code, to replace municipal green standards that have been lost in the midst of a climate emergency.
Maybe this is advocacy that @AMOPolicy @ONBigCityMayors can explore? Without green standards, development can proceed that isn't built to withstand climate change conditions. Ultimately, this will leave municipalities & property owners on the hook for costs of disaster mitigation
Ontario is entering its third and final phase of consultation on the next edition of Ontario’s Building Code. As part of this phase, changes to an energy efficiency requirement and sewage system provisions are proposed. Deadline to comment is December 9 ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-6211
Will any of the municipalities that just lost their authority to enforce green standards be submitting recommendations here? What about @AMOPolicy or @ONBigCityMayors? How should the Ontario Building Code compensate for loss of green standards under #Bill23?
