British Columbia appoints Vancouver architect to climate-action team
Vancouver architect Teresa Coady, chief executive officer of Bunting Coady Architects, has been appointed to the B.C. government’s recently announced 22-member climate action team.
The team will offer expert advice to help the provincial government achieve its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 33 per cent below current levels by 2020.
A pioneer in sustainable and energy-efficient design, Coady is the only architect on the team. She is excited about her appointment and believes that the team has a “great” opportunity to tackle climate change.
“I am delighted to be part of this exceptional team,” she said.
“A combination of public demand, ecological necessity and imminent legislation has created a unique opportunity for us to lay the foundations for a future that we can all be proud of.”
A past vice-president of the Architectural Institute of B.C., Coady has acted as an adviser in development of both the B.C. and national energy codes. She is a member of Sustainable Buildings 2008 Team Canada, which is charged with showcasing Canadian achievements at the World Sustainable Building Conference to be held in Australia next September.
