REDUCING EMBODIED CARBON IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

With Council endorsement, staff propose an industry engagement and capacity-building process, as follows: • Participation in regional and industry working groups; • Conducting interviews with peers and industry leaders; • Organizing roundtable, workshops and webinars for local and regional industry actors; • Distributing surveys; • Hosting collaborative innovation labs that bring together industry experts and peers; and • Organizing site visits to model projects that exemplify successful strategies. Learnings and findings from the industry engagement activities will enable staff to achieve the following sequence of milestones: 1. Emerging Policy and Regulation Review: Staff will engage with builders on early-stage policies, regulations, and performance targets set for embodied carbon in construction materials. Staff will also assess quantitative tools usable by architects and energy modellers to compare the embodied carbon content of various products and report on the total design-stage embodied carbon of a project. The expected outcome is a set of reporting requirements and/or regulations for new constructions for Council consideration. 2. Consultation on Richmond Demolition Bylaw Expansion: This milestone will run concun-ently with the first, ensuring simultaneous progress. Staff will identify and inform potential enhancements to the Richmond Demolition Bylaw through collaboration with industry experts, municipalities, and other organizations. As part of this, staff will assess other building types that can be incorporated
