On consideration of proposed requirements related to the inclusion of whole building life cycle assessments (wbLCAs) into procurements of design services for major Government of Canada building construction projects

The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat has issued a Request for Information under solicitation number 24062-24-204-A to gather industry feedback on integrating whole building life cycle assessments into the procurement of design services for major federal building construction projects. This initiative targets a broad range of professionals, including architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, and life cycle assessment practitioners, to provide expert insights and responses to specific questions outlined in the solicitation. This federal engagement is managed by the Government of Canada and is open to interested parties capable of providing technical feedback on sustainable design and procurement requirements. The primary objective is to refine the requirements for incorporating environmental impact assessments into the design phase of large-scale government infrastructure projects across Canada.
