Targray

In a major step forward that embodies our commitment to sustainability, we are proud to unveil Targray’s architecturally-stunning new World Headquarters in Kirkland, Quebec. From concept to completion, this transformative project marks a significant milestone in our company’s history and lays the foundation for the future as we forge ahead with our mission to create sustainable solutions for a world in transition. About the Project: We leveraged our office’s existing footprint to convert 20,000 square feet of warehouse space into a modern and inspiring workplace. Rows of fully ergonomic workstations line the ground floor’s open design concept, with a combination of collaborative and quiet spaces dotted around the perimeter. Encouraging teamwork, productivity, and wellness, the main level also includes a dedicated yoga studio, an employee lounge featuring arcade-style games, a self-serve coffee bar and beer taps, and a vibrant custom mural by Montreal artist Ryan Labrosse. In a demonstration of how sustainable construction and design can improve a building’s efficiency and reduce environmental impact on the community, numerous eco-friendly features were implemented, including a 4,000 square foot outdoor collaboration space, electric vehicle charging stations (free for all employees), and one of the largest solar rooftops in Greater Montreal. Along the length of the main floor, a sprawling raised podium borders a formerly windowless wall where low-emissivity (low-E) glass panels were installed and now make up a full height curtain wall with solar energy blocking properties. In addition to the integration of indoor trees and plants throughout the expansion, Targray intends to plant over 100 new trees on its property over the course of the next two years. "Rooted in our steadfast dedication to sustainability, this exciting new space embodies our vision for a greener future while nurturing productivity and collaboration among our growing team,” said President Andrew Richardson. 🔗 Read the full release to learn more about our new global headquarters: https://lnkd.in/eKqprwr7 • Design and Architecture by Metaphore Design & VÉZINA architectes • Contractor: JCB Construction Canada • Furniture: Burovision • Architectural partitions: Falkbuilt Ltd. • Lighting: LumiGroup • Photographs by © TARMAC– Damien Ligiardi & Ryan Labrosse • Location: Ville de Kirkland / Town of Kirkland #Targray #SustainableDesign #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #SustainableBuildings #InspiringWorkplace

British Columbia’s Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS) was implemented earlier this year to balance the province’s need for GHG reductions with its need to maintain economic competitiveness - but for businesses, it’s not just a compliance requirement, it's a strategic opportunity to optimize operations, reduce carbon costs, and even generate revenue through credit trading. BC OBPS quick facts: • Implemented in April 2024 • Applies to large industrial emitters that emit over 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) per year in high-emitting sectors such as mining, oil and gas, and manufacturing. • Facilities under the OBPS are assigned an annual operation-specific emissions limit, which becomes more stringent over time. • If a facility’s emissions are below its limit, it earns credits that can be traded or saved for future use. • If emissions exceed the limit, the facility must purchase credits, offset units, or pay a compliance charge. • Industrial companies within a regulated sector emitting less than 10,000 tCO2e per year may apply to opt-in voluntarily. To fully capitalize on the OBPS, it's crucial to develop a robust strategy early in the year, forecasting emissions and planning your market activities. As we make our way through the year, we help to adjust strategies based on real-time emissions data and market conditions to ensure your company minimizes carbon costs and maximizes the value of any earned credits, while ensuring that your emissions management aligns with both environmental goals and financial performance. 🔗 Learn more and request a consultation by visiting https://lnkd.in/e5wFx66g

Canada’s Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS) is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while minimizing economic impacts and competitiveness issues for key industries. It sets emissions intensity benchmarks for large industrial facilities, requiring them to pay for emissions that exceed these benchmarks while earning credits for emissions below the benchmarks. While the OBPS applies to industrial facilities emitting 50,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year or more, facilities emitting between 10,000 and 50,000 tonnes can voluntarily opt into the system. Facilities emitting less than the benchmark earn surplus credits, which they can sell or bank for future use. Those emitting more than the benchmark must submit compliance units (credits or payments). It's important for facilities to incorporate the OBPS into their strategic planning, considering how they can reduce emissions, optimize the use of credits, and manage potential costs associated with exceeding benchmarks. At Targray, we offer expert guidance and tailored solutions for businesses navigating the complexities of the OBPS by helping participants maximize OBPS credit potential and ensure seamless adherence to regulatory standards.
