Climate Change Risks

Climate Change Mitigation:

Affordable Housing developments funded through the Ontario Priorities Housing Initiatives (OPHI) must be built to maximize achievable reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions relative to minimum requirements (i.e. meet or exceed the current National Energy Code and Ontario Building Code requirements for new construction) in order to be eligible for the program. In addition, OPHI approved affordable housing projects are subject to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act 2012 .
