Carbon penalties are an iceberg—and by 2030, they could sink building operating budgets.
What looks like a small fine today is on track to become a new mortgage for many Vancouver office and retail towers.
At BUILDEX Vancouver, Dayne Perry, Senior Manager & Associate in HH Angus’ Commercial Division, brings an integrated engineering and financial perspective to his presentation on de-risking Vancouver portfolios before carbon costs take control. Dayne will use a typical 20,000 m2 mixed-use tower to show how Vancouver’s $350/ton carbon fee rapidly flips the economics in under a decade. Attendees will see the numbers behind the risk—and the tools available to manage it.
