Preparing Nova Scotia’s building sector for a net-zero future.
Building to Zero Exchange (BTZx) is a coalition of building sector stakeholders committed to building capacity for net-zero buildings.
About Building to Zero Exchange
At the Building to Zero Exchange (BTZx) we’re supporting collaboration and growing capacity as we begin to retrofit and create high-performance buildings efficiently and at a large scale.
As a Centre of Excellence , we’re working in partnership with industry, government and others to grow the number of net zero buildings in Nova Scotia. We will showcase leadership and inspiring local innovation while promoting collaboration and equity and workforce opportunities in the net-zero transition.
As a hub for this community of practice, we’re dedicated to bringing together diverse voices to and growing capacity across the building sector through research, events, resource development, skills training, and communications.
Ultimately, we see the Exchange serving as a rallying point for stakeholders from across the full spectrum of the building ecosystem. We’ll work together as collective champions for the innovation, policy, business, and regulatory actions necessary to advance Nova Scotia’s net-zero transition.
More information coming soon.
