Policy Strategies to Build Affordable, Efficient Homes Quickly

To address affordability concerns, Canada must build 3.5 million more new homes by 2030 than would otherwise be built, assuming current trends. A new residential housing construction paradigm is needed to realize the industry’s potential to build sufficient housing and the opportunity to build it in a way that realizes energy efficiency and environmental goals. 

Join us as we explore the findings from our new report, Policy Strategies to Support Innovation in New Housing Construction. We will focus on four sets of technologies that are particularly promising for increasing the potential of housing construction and realizing the opportunity to build efficiently with minimal impact. We will then explore the policy solutions that can amplify those technologies.
