Fresh off being recognized as the Canada Green Building Council’s 2026 Green Building Champion, our Founder & CEO, Ryan Zizzo, sat down with CAGBC to discuss some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the built environment today. In this conversation, Ryan shares insights on embodied carbon, building code harmonization, climate resilience, and the policy changes needed to accelerate market transformation across Canada. The discussion highlights a simple but powerful idea: Canada already has the expertise, tools, and ambition to create low-carbon, climate-resilient buildings at scale. The next step is aligning policy, standards, and industry practices to make those outcomes the norm rather than the exception.
