Mandatory Building Performance Standards Knowledge Network
The Mandatory Building Performance Standards (MBPS) knowledge network brings together a diverse group of professionals, experts, policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders to share knowledge, collaborate, and collectively advance their understanding of MBPS. Ultimately, the shared knowledge will help to improve energy efficiency, reduce GHG emissions, and promote sustainable operational practices in existing buildings through the adoption of MBPS in Canada.
By facilitating learning and the exchange of best practices, the group will:
- identify and understand the prerequisites for MBPS and complementary policies;
- explore the barriers hindering MBPS adoption and implementation and;
- brainstorm strategies to overcome these obstacles.
Become a member
Membership is open to people from all sectors who are interested in MBPS or that shares similar interests, goals, and/or objectives. Meetings will take place quarterly and run for 90 minutes.
