In this episode, Michelle Dada, P.Eng., of MNT Consulting Group Inc., pulls back the curtain on the chaos of Ontario’s green building standards. From conflicting municipal rules that defy the Ontario Building Code Act to inflated costs and delays, Michelle argues that these so-called “sustainable” initiatives are failing to deliver real results.
