Humber is excited to release its Climate Action Plan. The plan sets a course for the college to be net-zero emissions by 2050.
The Climate Action Plan will address the college's Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) that the college owns, has control over, or are from the generation of purchased energy. The innovative energy-efficient measures include:
- Retrofitting existing building envelopes and modifying controls
- Optimizing existing building energy performance
- Replacing natural gas heating equipment with decarbonized options when it reaches the end of its useful life
- Converting existing steam distribution to low-temperature hot water and electrifying heating sources
- Ensuring new builds, such as the Humber Cultural Hub, meet rigorous, best in the country, energy-efficient and zero-carbon standards
The plan enhances Humber's commitment to sustainability and aligns with Canada’s goals to address the climate crisis and build resilient, healthy communities.
