Humber was chosen by Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) as the 2024 Green Building Visionary Award recipient. This leadership award recognizes one organization in Canada every year who has demonstrated innovative approaches to advancing green building technology.    

We are honoured to receive such important recognition of our work and to be placed among green building trailblazers by CaGBC. 

Some of our accomplishments over the years include the following: 

• Living Wall in UofGH Atrium: one of the first and largest living walls in Canada. 
• Centre for Urban Ecology: first LEED Gold building in Toronto, which also has a fully passive cooling system, meaning no electrical power is used to keep the space cool. 
• Barrett CTI: LEED Platinum certified and Canada’s second largest net-zero energy building. 
• Building NX: first retrofit project to certify Zero Carbon Building-Design and first institutional retrofit in Canada to achieve the rigorous Passive House standard. 
• Green Building Standards: stringent sustainability requirements that must be met by all future campus development. 

As we celebrate this recognition or our work over the last decade, we also maintain momentum to reach our energy goals and achieve net zero by 2050.
