They will guide developers and builders to create thoughtful and innovative developments using sustainable design principles.
“Green Development Standards are an important tool to support the industry shift needed to meet our climate goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for future climate conditions,”
commented Aldo Salis, Director of Planning and Development.
