Industry Guidance and Toolkit for Adaptive Reuse & Repurposing of Existing Buildings
Circular Economy Leadership Canada is developing a practical guide and business case toolkit to advance adaptive reuse and transformation in Alberta.
Co-created with local and national partners, it will show how reusing and repurposing commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential buildings can reduce carbon, and create value for owners, developers, and the real estate community. The guide will include financial models, case studies, and tools to evaluate buildings, apply circular strategies, and assess carbon and cost benefits. Delivered through the Hub’s systems-change model, the project will convene industry and government, tests business cases through demonstration projects, and scale insights via knowledge sharing, policy briefs, and standards development. The guide will draw on insights and examples from leading adaptive reuse projects in Alberta and projects from across the country.
