Valuing Climate-Aligned Buildings

Résumé du webinaire

Canada’s building sector is at a turning point where performance, risk, and financial value are becoming increasingly interconnected. While decades of international evidence and early analysis of the Canadian market demonstrates that sustainable buildings deliver better financial outcomes, lower operating risk, and more resilient long-term value, this evidence has not yet shifted Canadian investment and lending practices at scale.

This webinar will explore how emerging Canadian initiatives — including the Banking on Buildings Program and Québec’s Sustainable Finance White Paper — are beginning to align building performance, valuation, and finance. Through short expert presentations and a moderated discussion, speakers will share case studies, market signals, and practical pathways for owners, lenders, appraisers, and policymakers to strengthen underwriting, valuation outcomes, and access to climate-aligned capital.
