Building Lasting Change

Building Lasting Change: Canada’s Premier Forum for Green Building Transformation

As climate change accelerates and environmental accountability becomes central to business strategy, the demand for sustainable real estate practices is no longer optional—it’s essential. Building Lasting Change (BLC) is Canada’s flagship conference that brings together leaders across the green building sector to drive practical solutions and strategic insights into how the industry must evolve to meet net-zero and ESG commitments.

This annual gathering offers a vital platform for engineers, architects, developers, policymakers, and financiers to engage in cross-sector dialogue on decarbonization, policy innovation, financing models, and building performance optimization.

A Shifting Industry: Why BLC Matters Now

The global built environment contributes significantly to carbon emissions, and the urgency to decarbonize has reached a tipping point. In Canada, regulatory pressure, investor expectations, and tenant demands are creating a perfect storm for change.

Building Lasting Change responds to this moment with a focused, action-oriented agenda that empowers attendees to:

Understand the drivers of decarbonization

Learn how to futureproof assets

Adopt next-generation sustainability strategies

Navigate funding and regulatory frameworks

Forge partnerships for scalable green building solutions

This isn’t a passive event—it’s a platform designed for those ready to take action and lead transformation.

Key Themes and Strategic Priorities

The two-day forum delivers deep, expertly curated content aligned with the most urgent and high-impact areas of sustainability in construction and real estate.

The conference agenda covers:

Decarbonization of new and existing buildings

Net-zero design, materials, and lifecycle strategies

ESG reporting, risk management, and compliance

Green building certifications and performance metrics

Circular construction and material innovation

Financing tools and investment frameworks for retrofits and green developments

Resilience and adaptation in urban design

Each session is built to provide practical insight with immediate application, enabling participants to return to their projects and portfolios with clarity and purpose.

Who Attends Building Lasting Change?

One of the defining characteristics of BLC is the diversity and seniority of its audience. The event draws influential voices from across the real estate lifecycle, forming a powerful ecosystem of decision-makers, innovators, and regulators.

These varied perspectives create a unique environment for collaboration, where the barriers between design, delivery, policy, and performance begin to dissolve.

Green Building: Opportunities in a New Economic Era

As Canada moves to meet its climate goals, green buildings are becoming core to economic resilience and competitiveness. This market shift opens the door for rethinking how we design, construct, operate, and finance our built environment.

Key industry shifts driving opportunity:

Major public and private sector investments in energy-efficient retrofits

Rising adoption of zero-carbon building standards

Demonstrations of high-performance building technologies

These features make BLC not just a conference, but a working space for transformation.

Collaboration is Key: Building a National Movement

Building Lasting Change is more than a professional event—it’s part of a national movement to rethink how we build, live, and grow. It fosters a sense of shared purpose and urgency across industry and government, creating a collaborative environment for long-term impact.

Collaborative outcomes fostered at BLC include:

Aligning public policy with market innovation

Elevating Indigenous voices and sustainability leadership

Creating common standards across provinces and territories

Advancing equity, health, and resilience in the built environment

Together, these efforts shape the broader green building transformation across Canada, influencing both national policy and everyday practice.

Building the Future, Now

Building Lasting Change is where vision meets implementation. As Canada’s green building leaders gather to explore what’s next, the event offers a clear message: the time to act is now.

With regulatory change accelerating, ESG frameworks evolving, and public expectations rising, BLC gives professionals the insights, tools, and networks they need to deliver high-performance, sustainable, and future-ready buildings.

This is more than an event. It’s the catalyst for a nationwide shift in how we build — with intention, integrity, and a commitment to lasting impact.
