Reduce environmental impacts of private and City-owned buildings and infrastructure by improving the performance of buildings and infrastructure in Whitehorse to reduce energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, operating costs, and environmental risks.

We are working towards

• Better energy efficiency of new and retrofitted City buildings• Higher efficiency standards for all buildings
• Managing infrastructure, buildings, and natural assets in an asset management system

Our Progress

The City has made good progress in making energy efficiency a priority in its new Operations building and Fire Hall. Opportunities exist for proposed renovations to City Hall and the Transit Building. The City continues to make progress on its asset management program. Upgrades to the transportation system to improve active transportation use are contemplated when surface and subsurface improvements are required. Leaks in the water distribution system are routinely detected and repaired.
