Deeply committed to creating sustainable buildings and educating the public about their importance.
The Green Building Learning Zone (GBLZ) is a volunteer collaborative of professionals passionate about green buildings.
We are an event-based organization, bringing together architects, designers, builders, suppliers, educators, non-profits and consultants from the green building world who are all deeply committed to creating sustainable buildings and educating the public about their importance.
Buildings account for over 50% of Toronto’s greenhouse gas emissions
In 2019 a group of organization from the green building sector joined forces for the first time to share their knowledge and promote a better world at the Green Living Show March 22-24 in Toronto. The booth featured a series of educational presentations on a range of topics that included: building envelope, indoor air quality, and alternative building materials, among many others. In addition, there were sample green building materials, a library of resources to peruse and purchase, and experts to answer questions. Check out these photos from the event!
In 2020 there was a COVID cancellation of the Green Living Show and the GBLZ became an online event, and in 2024 it returned bigger and better to the National Home Show at the Enercare Centre in Toronto and returned in 2025 with 33 organizations creating the GBLZ.
