Canada's construction news
is shedding light on some major demands that are going to be placed on the industry as Canada attempts to move towards greener practices.: Estimating the impact on construction labour demands from transitioning buildings in Canada away from fossil fuels, is that heating and refrigeration and air conditioning mechanics need to see some very significant growth to enable the industry to meet green targets, very close to 400 per cent.
Overall, the report examines labour market implications as it pertains to energy efficiency improvements and carbon footprint reductions in order to support the federal government’s goals to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. BuildForce estimates the change will create significant demands for non-residential workers as a significant portion of the space and water heating units installed in these buildings is currently powered by fossil fuels.
“There is, on the commercial side, a lot more custom work required,” Ferreira said. “Residential is a little bit simpler. When you look at fuel switching as an example, you are moving into an existing home that is powered by fossil fuel sources for space heating and some sort of fossil fuel-driven hot water heating system. We looked at what the requirements would be on a workforce to be able to achieve some transition to electrification both for space heating and hot water heating.
