A range of project specific interactions aimed at accelerating the low carbon building sector, including strategies to increase the use of low carbon building materials, supporting building electrification and clean grid expansion, climate-smart and affordable housing expansion, climate-focused building code development, mass timber, building retrofit and net zero building finance innovation strategies.
