Humber students help institution get zero carbon building certification

News

Humber Polytechnic’s Building NX has officially earned the Zero Carbon Building – Performance certification from the Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC). The certification is awarded to buildings that operate as zero-carbon facilities. Four students led the pursuit of the certification as part of a capstone project, where they analyzed the building’s performance, reviewed certification reporting requirements, and sought to provide recommendations for the building’s improvement. CAGBC representatives also supported the students by answering their questions and fast-tracking the application for the certification. “Ultimately, Humber earned this certification entirely through the efforts of its students,” said Humber Energy and Climate Change Associate Director Aman Hehar.
