How we humans get around and where we are going to and from make up the number 1 and 2 sources of climate-change causing emissions. Addressing where we live, work and play is becoming critical path. We invited Matt Grace to discuss about what the future of housing and construction will look like in Alberta in the context of climate change. Matt has been a Sustainable Buildings and Communities consultant in both the UK and Canada for going on 30 years now, he was the Canada Green Building Council's Green Building Pioneer Award recipient of 2018, he is a past Hub board member and co-chair and is now a current board member of Alberta Ecotrust and Green economy Calgary.
