Beyond Sustainable: Generations 1 5°C Sustainable Building and Financial Resilience

📢 Générations 1.5°C - A Study initiated by Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ in partnership with Hydro-Québec, Énergir, and Devimco.
🚨 Did you know that a brown building-one that isn’t built for energy efficiency or sustainability-could lose up to 80% of its value?
As energy costs rise, carbon taxes increase, and tenant expectations evolve, the real estate industry faces a major shift. The Générations 1.5°C study examines the financial viability of sustainable buildings and provides a clear answer:
✅ Sustainable buildings outperform traditional buildings financially over time.
✅ Despite higher upfront costs, they generate long-term value through reduced operating costs, resilience to carbon pricing, and enhanced market demand.
✅ Brown buildings, on the other hand, could face financial devaluation, costly retrofits, and limited financing options.
🎙️ In this episode of Beyond Sustainable, we explore:
🔹 Why brown buildings are becoming an increasingly risky investment
🔹 The financial resilience of sustainable construction
🔹 How biochar and graphene are revolutionizing building materials
🔹 The future of real estate-where smart, energy-efficient, and carbon-resilient buildings are the new standard
🔗 Watch the full episode now and discover why the real estate industry must adapt-before it’s too late.

Good morning,
I just listened to your podcast. I loved it.
I am a gentleman who has been in the sustainable game for 25 years. I have several products for building supply, all green and sustainable. With the materials that we possess, we are now able to go fully automatic in new home development right from the factory right to your location.fully automatic. And we don't even have to leave our province for the minerals To produce the products that we're talking about.. And we are prototyping right now for the aerospace industry, the military, because of our super lightweight sustainable tough product. I would love to hear from somebody in the sustainable housing industry. That would be interested in hearing what I have to say. I look forward to hearing back from anyone involved in this business. Thank you. I look forward to the next podcast.👊✊️

Good morning David,
Thank you for listening to the podcast-I really appreciate your feedback! It’s always great to connect with people who have been in the sustainable space for so long. Your work with lightweight, sustainable, and tough materials sounds incredibly exciting, especially with applications in aerospace and the military.
At Beyond Sustainable Tech (BST), we are taking the future of sustainable buildings even further. Our vision goes beyond just providing walls and a roof-we want to create living spaces where well-being, health, and performance transparency are the top priorities.
🏡 We believe the future of housing must integrate:
✅ Biochar-based materials to store carbon within the structure itself.
✅ Smart, real-time building performance tracking-because buildings should be as transparent about their impact as any other high-tech system.
✅ Health-focused environments-where indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort are designed into the building from day one.
Your work in automated, sustainable home development sounds like it could align with some of the innovations we’re working on. I’d love to continue this conversation. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn so we can discuss potential synergies!
