Decarbonizing the Built Environment: Next-Gen Energy Tech for Modern Real Estate
Toronto Climate Week breakfast & mimosa panel, hosted by SWTCH, Peak Power, Proptech Collective, and Plug'n Drive.
In the shifting energy landscape of the GTA, sustainability is no longer just a "green" goal—it’s a resiliency mandate. Whether managing multi-family portfolios or Commercial & Industrial (C&I) assets, the challenge isn't just lowering carbon, but managing the skyrocketing costs of electrification and grid volatility.
Join us during Toronto Climate Week for a breakfast taco bar and mimosa panel. We’re stripping away the jargon to show you exactly how integrated proptech creates a "Smart Envelope" — one where flexible assets like batteries and EV chargers harmonize with building energy systems to navigate Global Adjustment costs, shave peaks, and boost NOI.
