The Better Buildings Partnership (BBP) is an innovative
program that was developed in 1996 by The City of Toronto to reduce
carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 20%, relative
to 1988 levels, by the year 2005. Ameresco Canada worked closely
with The City of Toronto and was instrumental in the development
of the BBP program. Ameresco Canada is one of the leading energy
management firms to utilize the BBP program and provide clients
with an innovative method of renewing buildings, creating jobs,
making buildings more competitive and improving the environment.
The Better Buildings Partnership involves comprehensive energy
efficiency retrofits and building renewal initiatives for all
public and private sector buildings within the City of Toronto.
Comprehensive building improvements typically consist of various
building renewal measures based on a blend of short- and long-term
payback periods to allow for greater project flexibility.
