Focus Areas

Climate action in the systems that shape daily life

EnviroCentre focuses its efforts on reducing community emissions and building resilience across the systems communities rely on every day.

Our work centres on buildings, transportation, and waste — the largest sources of community emissions — alongside green infrastructure, which is essential to resilience and adaptation.

We help clients deliver practical, people-centred solutions designed for real-world conditions, where operational, financial, and capacity constraints shape the ability to respond effectively to the climate crisis.

Energy Retrofits

Improving the buildings people depend on every day.

Heating and cooling residential buildings are among the largest sources of community emissions in most communities, and a growing source of financial and operational risk.

EnviroCentre works with municipalities, housing providers, and utility partners to advance energy retrofits and building decarbonization that increase energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and future-proof housing stock.

Across this work, we focus on solutions that deliver co-benefits — improving affordability, comfort, and resilience, while supporting long-term asset planning and the everyday lives these buildings support.

Delivered through established programs:

Retrofit Accelerator, Better Homes Loan, Energy Affordability Programs

Well-suited for organizations that are:

  • Seeking a tested, evidence-based program model
  • Looking to make measurable progress toward climate commitments
  • In need of a ready-to-implement approach that can be adapted to local conditions

Transportation

Supporting connected communities, public transit, and active transportation.

Transportation is a significant source of community emissions, and it shapes how people connect to daily destinations, opportunities, and one another.

EnviroCentre works with municipalities, schools, workplaces, and community partners to design and deliver evidence-based transportation programs that reduce car dependence and strengthen access to public transit and active transportation.

Across this work, we focus on approaches that build participation and momentum, and strengthen the connections between people, places, and everyday life.

Delivered through proven approaches:

Let’s Bike, School Active Transportation Programs, Employee Commuting Programs, Targeted mobility pilots

Well-suited for organizations that are:

  • Ready to scale participation in public transit and active transportation
  • Looking to advance mode shift and emissions reduction through proven, community-based programs
  • Seeking engagement-led approaches that complement policy, planning, and infrastructure investments

Waste & Circular Economy

Increasing waste diversion and keeping materials in use longer.

Waste is a meaningful source of community emissions and an area of rapid regulatory and operational change.

EnviroCentre is growing its work in waste diversion and circular economy systems, supporting efforts that increase waste diversion, reduce contamination, and make recycling and reuse systems easier to implement and manage.

Delivered through:
Waste diversion in multi-unit residential buildings, Organics programs, Circular pilots

Well-suited for organizations that are:

  • Looking to improve diversion and reduce contamination across buildings or portfolios
  • Responding to evolving diversion requirements
  • Ready to test and scale circular approaches within existing operations

Green Infrastructure

Using nature-based solutions to manage climate risk and strengthen resilience.

Cities are facing increasing flooding, extreme heat, and declining green space and biodiversity. Green infrastructure offers a cost-effective approach to managing climate risk while improving public spaces and community well-being.

EnviroCentre works with municipalities, schools, housing providers, and community partners to integrate green infrastructure that supports climate adaptation and creates healthier, more welcoming places for daily life.

Across this work, we focus on outcomes that strengthen climate resilience and public value — including flood mitigation, heat reduction, and improved public spaces.

Delivered through:

Tiny Forests, Stormwater Management Programs, Hidden Harvest

Well-suited for organizations that are:

  • Responding to growing climate risks such as flooding and extreme heat
  • Looking to integrate nature-based solutions into planning and infrastructure decisions
  • Seeking approaches that deliver resilience, public benefit, and visible impact

Let’s strengthen the systems your community depends on.
