Announcing the Building Benchmark BC Awards!
This year, in addition to the Annual Report, we wanted to do something special for our program participants and recognize the hard work they’ve put into Building Benchmark BC. As such, OPEN Technologies presents the Building Benchmark BC Awards!
The inaugural Building Benchmark BC Awards recognize excellence in improving building, climate, and energy performance across a range of categories. We are fortunate to have so many amazing program participants demonstrating leadership in these areas, and helping to make Building Benchmark BC the success it is today.
