Last month, Council approved the High Performance Development Standard to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from new buildings in Ottawa. Using a series of metrics to help determine how effective new building projects are at advancing sustainable and resilient design, the new standard will ensure all Ottawa builders are meeting the same minimum targets for projects that require a site plan control application or a plan of subdivision application. The High Performance Development Standard will come into effect once the Official Plan comes into force.
