ABOUT
Sustainability + Net Zero

We believe in our role as changemakers. In 2019, Number TEN signed the Canada Architects Pledge to lead action against climate change – a grassroots effort developed by architects across Canada and members of the RAIC Committee on Regenerative Environments.
As part of this commitment, we have assembled our own Net Zero Knowledge Community to build our internal knowledge base in low and zero carbon design, and to share this expertise with clients, community and industry partners.

Our Commitment
Number TEN’s Net Zero Knowledge Community
The Number TEN Net Zero Knowledge Community has been established to ultimately provide clients with high performing, resilient buildings to address climate change and rising energy costs.
The Knowledge Community’s Mission:
- Contribute meaningfully towards the energy and carbon reduction targets outlined by all levels of Government and as set out in the AIA 2030 challenge.
- Deliver evidence-based solutions rooted in life-cycle costing for innovative, high-performance buildings.
- Design buildings and spaces that improve occupant health and wellbeing.
What We Do:
Some of the initiatives we have undertaken include ongoing data tracking to chart our projects modelled and actual energy performance, the annual measurement and management of our own organizational carbon footprint, the development of in-house capability in early energy modelling, embodied carbon and daylight analysis, along with ongoing advocacy and education in sustainable design.
