☀ 🏢 Building-integrated photovoltaics (#BIPV) are the newest frontier of #solar and the latest #ClimateWin in Toronto. #SolarPanels have replaced building railings at a 1960s-era building on Wilson Avenue👉 https://lnkd.in/gqdh6_4T The solar panels, manufactured locally by Mitrex - Building-Integrated Solar Technology, are weatherproof and durable enough to be integrated into a building’s façade. The solar panels work double duty as an energy source and building #cladding, helping building owners reduce operating costs and #emissions while improving #affordability and #comfort for tenants. No solar fiction here, readers! Since 2021, solar cladding has been installed on various mid-to-high-rise buildings and structures across the #GTHA. Where do you see potential for solar cladding in your community? #SolarPower #SolarEnergy #Buildings #CleanEnergy #CleanTech #RenewableEnergy #ClimateChnage #Innovation #SolarPV

👩‍💻 🔦 🎉 Dotfusion Digital - B Corp customer spotlight - Mitsubishi Power Products Website. A Mission critical websites that literally, keep the lights on... Dotfusion partnered with Mitsubishi Electric Canada and Mitsubishi Power Products, USA to redesign and replatform their website. The new website features a contemporary design and is built on the awesome Agility CMS. Dotfusion integrated the websites with Salesforce.com and created a custom Giant Display configurator. We improved the navigation of the websites to make it easier for users to find products. The new navigation is divided into three levels: market, industry, and product. This reduced the number of clicks and filtering blocks users encountered, making it easier for them to find the content they need. The successful launch of the website resulted in increased sales for Mitsubishi. 🙌🏻 Check out the full Success Story here: https://lnkd.in/gZ6qc6jD

Here’s an opportunity for manufacturing: modular carports for solar panel installations on large parking lots. France has passed a law that all of its large parking lots must be covered by solar by 2028. There’s a lot of parking lots. In the USA parking lots cover more area than the state of DE and RI combined. Dimensions of parking spaces are somewhat standardized. That, plus the time pressure, are two good reasons that modular construction and volume manufacturing are potentially the way to go. https://lnkd.in/gBPP2Gk8

Thanks Nicola Jaine for an excellent summary of the BluWave-ai Global Energy Transition Summit. My big takeaway that I would like Doug Ford and his finance team to think about is how do we get to the point that we can power Ontario transport with more made in Ontario electric energy versus imported oil. As a CEO of a company that is built on doing small things for climate activism, I end up losing all the time trying to convince the world to use less carbon....this is like boiling the Pacific Ocean with a matchstick, and my flame only runs so bright. Rather, if I can appeal to every 250K EV's putting ~$1B into our economy yearly net of more electricity bought and less oil imported. then we all can get to more climate impact via economics, because generally economic gains happen by burning more carbon not less carbon. Essentially on this panel we talked about tech+market+regulatory that will get us to those economic gains and that carbon reduction. Bringing battery plants to Ontario is small potatoes compared to decades long net economic impact of more EVs (and charging) on the road.

Smart cities innovators continue to receive the lion's share of funding in Canada's sustainable property technology industry, according to a report by Sustainable Proptech Canada. New funding for the sector during the past year (May 2023 to September 2024) totalled almost US$823 million, the report states. Smart cities initiatives received about $2.1 billion of the overall total, and just under $495 million of the funds during the past year (about 60 per cent). “Notwithstanding the poor economic environment, companies in the space attracted almost a billion dollars in new funding . . . Sustainability has outperformed the market generally. The fact that these companies have been able to attract capital is a silver lining in a dark economic time,” Joanna Creed, co-founder of Sustainable Proptech Canada, told Sustainable Biz Canada. #sustainability #proptech #climate #greenbuildings #Canada #funding #investment https://lnkd.in/ecRwqDqx

📟"The semiconductor sector is viewed as an isolated industry while the reality is that semiconductors underpin every industry you can name. They are the engine for many critical sectors, namely AI, advanced manufacturing, smart city, mobility, renewable energy, and health care—all of which are leading industries in Canada. They are everywhere, and Canada requires this ongoing support and a comprehensive strategy to compete globally in semiconductor design and fabrication." 𓇲 Read ventureLAB's latest #thoughtleadership piece by Avinash Persaud

Is having an EV only as effective as the charging and infrastructure surrounding it? 🔋 How do charging needs vary from across Canada?  🚗 With the Canadian government mandating that 100% of new vehicle sales be EVs by 2035, what does that mean for utilities? ⚡ What will it take to get the grid ready to handle capacity? 🛻 For business, what will EV fleet charging on the go look like? Watch/Listen: https://lnkd.in/dgRbbQ5u Thanks to: Sadiq A. Pirani, P.E., P.Eng., PMP, FEC, FGC (Hon.), Jeff Turner, Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors, David C.

Buildings that use gas or fossil fuels for heating and hot water are the largest emitters of carbon in Toronto. In response, the City has enacted a new bylaw requiring building owners to report their energy and water use annually in view of meeting the city’s emissions performance standards.   Learn how this new bylaw will impact on you at home, at work and in the community. Register now for Webinar on April 25, 2024 from noon to 12:45 p.m, https://lnkd.in/g52yAd-q Switching to cleaner energy sources is one of the most effective ways to reduce emissions. Making the switch to cleaner energy sources will have some upfront costs but will lead to savings on your energy bills now and into the future. The city offers guidance and a range of programs and funding to help offset the initial costs.
