The Capital Regional District, working with OPEN Technologies, is launching an energy and carbon reporting initiative for large buildings. From June 2026 the program applies to buildings over 30,000 square feet (2,787 m²), with participation mandatory in the City of Victoria and the District of Saanich and voluntary elsewhere in the region. Coverage extends to buildings of 10,000 square feet (929 m²) and larger by June 2027.
