March 2025 - Net Zero Times

🎉✨ Happy 5th Anniversary, Climate Change Leaders and Cleaner Air for Schools!🎉✨ 

In this issue, we celebrate five incredible years of transforming the way school and campus buildings breathe! Cleaner Air for Schools (CAFS), a ventilation rehabilitation program in schools and campuses, launched at the onset of the pandemic has made great strides in improving ventilation, boosting airflow by an impressive 35% in under-ventilated spaces, and mitigating the spread of germs during the pandemic. 🌬️

But that’s not all! Post-pandemic CAFS also tackled over-ventilated spaces, reducing energy consumption by 12% and cutting carbon emissions by 30% across 25 school boards, 1000's of schools and higher education organizations in Ontario! 🌱💚 Creating healthier, more sustainable environments for students, teachers and staff. Here’s to many more years of Cleaner Air for Schools and Climate Change Leaders, for a brighter more sustainable future!

We also are excited to highlight the City of Brampton's Zero Carbon Strategy🌟, a special feature from our CASIS member Johnson Controls, showcasing the Susan Fennell Sportsplex pilot. As we gear up for Conference season, be sure to explore our events section for upcoming opportunities to network. Additionally, don't miss out on Enbridge's limited-time offer of 4x the incentives on Controls, available until August 31st!
