Building Skills for Climate Change: Low Carbon Training Program Monitoring and Evaluation
The Canadian building sector has significantly changed over the past several decades, with an increasingly important goal of decreasing the built environment’s ecological, human, and financial impacts; however, the building sector workforce is not adequately equipped to deliver the scale and scope of green building construction and renovation required to meet Canada’s greenhouse gas reduction targets. To address this challenge, Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC) and multiple partner organizations developed and delivered the Low-Carbon Training Program, focused on a low-carbon building curriculum that was incorporated into the training and reskilling of existing professionals engaged in the design, construction, and operation of buildings. The target audience for this training was existing professionals engaged in the design, construction, and operation of buildings, including large building owners, architects, engineers, general contractors, construction companies, and building operators. SRDC analyzed the implementation and outcomes of the project using a mix of training observations, depth interviews, and participant surveys.
