As environmental issues continue to be pushed to the forefront, sustainable housing solutions are becoming more and more important. Driven by growing environmental awareness and the promise of long-term economic benefits, both developers and buyers are increasingly prioritizing sustainability.

Green technologies and sustainable materials in property development lead to energy-efficient, high-value properties. Consumers are attracted to the long-term cost savings and lower carbon footprints. Buyers are willing to pay more for sustainable features. Examples include solar panels for renewable energy, energy-efficient appliances, rainwater harvesting systems, insulated windows and doors, smart thermostats, native landscaping, and electric vehicle charging stations.Eco-friendly properties lead to lower utility bills, improved air quality, and higher tenant retention rates. 

While there might not be specific federal tax breaks, various incentives exist at provincial and municipal levels. Programs like the Canada Infrastructure Bank and CleanBC Better Homes offer grants and funding for energy-efficient retrofitting.
