Whether you have made major retrofits, implemented innovative practices, or shown consistent progress in reducing your building’s environmental impact, we want to recognize you. 

During the inaugural awards in 2024, the following awards were presented:

Building Operator Of the Year Award (BOOYA) – Honouring exceptional leadership and dedication by a building operator.

Yearly Improved Performance: Emissions & Energy (YIPEE) – Recognizing buildings that made the most progress in improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions.

Operating Lowest Emissions (OLE)– Celebrating the buildings with the lowest emissions in their class (MURB and office categories).

No matter where you are on your sustainability journey, if you are leading the way or just getting started, the Better Buildings Ottawa program offers tools, insights, and a supportive community and wants to help every building in Ottawa achieve its sustainability goals.
