I am looking for micro-scale hourly wind-averages (direction and speed) for all stations in the GVRD over the past year. The information will be used to better orient and shape green buildings to take advantage of the local wind conditions.

Do you know any municipalities that promote energy efficiency for new construction through the lowering of DCC (developer cost charges) or that use performance-based DCC's related to energy efficiency?

Looking for information on waste reduction for renovations/demolitions.

The issue is partly to do with the total waste material generated but more to do with diverting it from landfill. In the GVRD about 67%% of construction waste is diverted to other uses. On some projects (not houses) we are getting over 90% diversion rates.
