For the fourth consecutive year, BOMEX is carbon neutral.

That means the measured emissions from BOMEX Ottawa 2026 (Sept 22–24, Rogers Centre Ottawa) were calculated by a third party and offset in full.

The numbers:

👣 Footprint: 102.61 tonnes CO₂e, independently measured by Carbonzero
🔍 Scope: attendee travel, hotel stays, venue energy, food and waste
🍃 Offsets: Ontario Greenhouse Biomass to Energy Project (Leamington and Flamborough, ON), which uses food waste as a biomass fuel to heat greenhouses in place of fossil fuels

We’re grateful to our Carbon Neutrality Sponsor, FoodCycler, whose support made it possible. It’s a partnership where the sponsor’s mission and the impact line up.

Offsets are one part of the work. Sustainability is a shared responsibility, and we invite attendees, sponsors and partners to join us in reducing BOMEX’s environmental impact year after year. It’s the same approach our members take with their buildings: measure the impact, be transparent about it, and take action.

What an engaging and insightful couple of days at BUILDEX Alberta for our BOMA Enspire team! 👏

Our session, 'The Retrofit Revolution: Shaping Tomorrow’s Accelerator Programs, Today' explored how flexible, outcome-driven programs, stronger business cases, and ongoing technical support can help building owners move from retrofit planning to implementation.

We also had the pleasure of sharing a booth with Four Winds & Associates, highlighting our partnership and shared commitment to bringing energy-efficiency resources, building expertise, and new opportunities to Indigenous communities and were thrilled to see a packed house to take in an insightful keynote session by BOMA Calgary on emerging trends in ESG reporting, smart buildings, and AI-enabled analytics.

A big thank you to BUILDEX Alberta for your continued support in delivering valuable programming and opportunities for commercial real estate professionals to connect, collaborate, and learn!
