The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat | Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor du Canada just released a new Request for Information (RFI) on Whole Building Life Cycle Assessments (WBLCAs) for major Government of Canada building construction projects. This is a significant step towards implementing the federal government's Greening Government Strategy commitments. Key points from the RFI: - Proposing mandatory wbLCAs for major federal construction projects starting in 2025 - Targeting at least 30% embodied carbon reduction compared to a baseline or recognized benchmark. - Requiring wbLCA reports for both preliminary and final designs - Planning to publicly disclose final design wbLCA results This RFI seeks feedback from architects, engineers, LCA practitioners, and other interested parties on various aspects of implementation, including potential impacts on project schedules, budgets, and design processes. If you work in the building industry, I strongly encourage you to review the RFI and provide your input. This is a critical opportunity to shape the future of embodied carbon policy for federal projects in Canada. The deadline for responses is September 13th, 2024.
