The Government of Canada is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which includes greening its own operations. The government is pleased that the Arthur Meighen Building in Toronto, Ontario, has been selected by the Canada Green Building Council to participate in its Zero Carbon Pilot Program.

Through this innovative pilot program, the Canada Green Building Council will provide guidance so that the government is able to meet the new Zero Carbon Building Standard. New and existing buildings that have high energy performance, use alternative energy sources and achieve a zero carbon footprint can be certified with the standard.

The Arthur Meighen Building will be a flagship model that demonstrates the governments commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. Renovations to the building may include design features such as geothermal heating and solar panels to achieve a carbon neutral design. Public Services and Procurement Canada has identified the Arthur Meighen Building as a major renovation project to become a modern workplace environment.
