Actually, the Canada Green Building Council was originally started by architects and we work very closely with RAIC, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, which is still one of our main stakeholders. It was the architects, initially, who wanted to design buildings that are better, not just in terms of energy, but also electricity, water, well-being, lighting, all kinds of things. The architects, particularly the RAIC and the OAA—all the associations—are very supportive of a sustainable design. They still make up a significant portion of our membership, but our membership is more diversified yet.
The architects have a target that is called Architecture 2030. It's again a North American target that buildings need to be carbon neutral by 2030. So the Royal Architectural Institute supports that target, and we support it, along with many other organizations. I think some engineering organizations probably do as well.
The architects play a very important role because they're typically the project proponents. But the architect by him or herself cannot produce a building that's highly efficient in many ways. They need the engineers and they need the commissioning agents and they need a good builder. It's a multi-professional task to produce a good building, and we're very much proponents of an integrated design so that all of the parties involved can produce a building. From the owner to the interior designer and the landscape architect, they talk about how they can achieve high performance in building. It's a process issue, not necessarily a target issue. But all of the processes have used what we call an integrated design approach, and these buildings are all performing extremely well.
