Restart emissions reporting, and keep electric heating rules for new buildings
What Vote Vancouver has published about climate and buildings, and what it has not.
CLIMATE AND BUILDINGS
Vote Vancouver on climate
The document's clearest climate positions are both about buildings: restarting a paused emissions-reporting program, and keeping an existing heating rule rather than loosening it.
2 PUBLISHED COMMITMENTS
What they say they will do
Restart the Energize Vancouver emissions-reporting program
The party would unpause this City program so it can measure where building emissions come from and track progress.
- Who has the power
- The City's own reporting program.
Keep the electric heating requirement for new buildings
The party would maintain the existing requirement for electric space and hot water heating in new buildings, rather than allowing gas.
- Who has the power
- Vancouver's own building bylaw.
What is not published
- Most items name no cost and no date. The document credits several of these to Rebecca Bligh personally, and those are also recorded on her own candidate record.
