Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the questions.
Green buildings are just better. Research shows that they are healthier for people and better for the environment. As building practices evolve, the ways that green buildings benefit people and communities grow. Today, green buildings reduce carbon emissions, energy use, and water consumption, making them a smart long-term investment.
Green buildings offer occupants better air quality with lower concentrations of CO₂. With more fresh air, people in green buildings breathe better and enjoy higher productivity and better learning outcomes. Since studies show people spend 90% of their time indoors, air quality is critical to better health. People living and working in green buildings actually experience fewer sick days and lower asthma rates. They also sleep better thanks to better access to outdoor views and daylight.
Green buildings use less water, energy, and natural resources. They also decrease impacts on the environment. Zero-carbon buildings reduce pollution. They do this by using better materials and building processes that reduce harmful emissions. Green building standards exist to help building owners and operators pursue their sustainability goals and verify that their decisions are achieving the building’s environmental and energy-saving goals.
Green buildings make good business sense. While they may cost slightly more to construct, they are more efficient to operate, which saves money in the long term. Commercial owners find green buildings demand premium rents and maintain better occupancy rates. Tenants also benefit from lower utility costs that make green buildings more affordable to live in.
As Canada works toward its climate targets, demand for green buildings will grow, creating new jobs. In fact, green building jobs outnumber Canada’s forestry, oil and gas extraction, and mining sectors. With investment in green building and progressive policies, green building could account for 1.5 million direct jobs and 150 billion USD in GDP by 2030.
Green buildings play a role in shaping more equitable communities. Everyone benefits when community members have access to healthy, affordable housing or when communities are climate-resilient and can withstand extreme weather events. Since climate-related impacts tend to affect vulnerable communities the most, it’s important that green building be part of Canada’s approach to social justice. A social justice lens should also be applied to new green building jobs. As the shift to low-carbon buildings and retrofits increases, growing the workforce to meet demand should include strategies to prioritize underrepresented groups.
