Vision

Increasing energy consumption and GHG emissions, global warming, climate change, and more frequent extreme weather events are some challenges caused by rapid urbanization. The building sector is a major source of energy consumption and GHG emission in cities. More than 75% of Canada's building stock in 2030 will be composed of buildings already standing today. Retrofitting existing buildings can significantly contribute to the GHG emission and energy consumption reduction goal. Planete GreenLeaves is a web-based platform developed to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 7, 11, and 13) with a focus on buildings retrofitting, designing energy efficient and smart buildings, and mitigation of extreme weather events by integration of building energy, microclimate, and AI models..
