As part of the Alberta Energy Efficiency Alliance (AEEA), the Pembina Institute contributed to the development of a discussion paper on building codes in Alberta. The paper compares Alberta to other leading provinces and includes suggestions from AEEA members on how best to increase energy efficiency considerations within the provincial building code.

This solutions paper follows the Renewable is Doable report and answers the question: How is it doable? It addresses the misconception that large-scale nuclear or coal generation is required to meet Ontario's base load demand for electricity. It argues that the right technical, regulatory and policy tools can make energy efficiency and renewable power the primary source of power for the future.

Renewable is Doable is a joint study by WWF-Canada and the Pembina Institute to identify electricity scenarios for Ontario that would meet future power demands without the use of nuclear power and coal, and that would generate lower greenhouse gas emissions than the plan currently proposed by the Ontario Power Authority. The study consists of two background reports.
