. What’s the goal? To add heat pumps and electric water heaters to 100 per cent of buildings when replacing current systems and to all new building construction. This is an especially impactful change when combined with renewable energy sources and building retrofits. Leading by example: The City will show its commitment to this project by installing heat pumps in City buildings and reporting to residents on performance. The City will also make resources available to learn the benefits and feasibility of heat pumps in a cold climate. Net-Zero new construction All provinces have agreed to adopt the federal Net-Zero Energy-Ready (NZER) Building Code for new residential builds by 2030. Net Zero Energy (NZE) buildings produce as much clean energy as they use over the course of a year. Net Zero homes and buildings have a well-insulated and air-tight envelope (walls, windows, doors, foundation, and roof), high-efficiency equipment, and good solar orientation to produce renewable electricity. Why? Every building that is constructed to a NZE standard is a building that doesn’t need to be retrofitted in the future. All provinces have agreed to adopt the federal Net-Zero Energy-Ready (NZER) Building Code for new residential buildings by 2030. What’s the plan? The City can use existing tools and develop new programs or incentives to encourage all new construction to meet net-zero standards. What’s the goal? To increase the percentage of new buildings constructed to net-zero standards to 50 per cent by 2026 and to 100 per cent by 2030. All new commercial and industrial buildings will be NZER by 2030, according to the progressive tiers of the National Energy Code for Buildings. Leading by example: The City can help to encourage NZE neighbourhoods by reducing regulations, providing financial incentives, or acting as a developer. Low-income and/or social housing can be a major focus of these types of projects. The City will support the development community by providing clarity around regulations, policies, and bylaws that will impact the building sector. Renewable energy generation Renewable energy, when combined with energy efficiency measures, can meet much of Regina's energy needs while decreasing emissions. There are many sources of renewable energy, but in the Regina area, solar, wind, and geothermal are the most viable options Why? Regina is among the sunniest cities in Canada. The community can harness the abundant energy from the sun and other renewable energy sources such as wind and geothermal to heat, cool, and power our homes, schools, and businesses. What’s the plan? To develop programs and partnerships that support solar photovoltaic (i.e. solar panels) installations for buildings, contribute to the creation of solar gardens and wind farms, and explore solar heating from geothermal sources. What’s the goal? ...
