Vancouver's Science World museum launches $39M upgrade to cut energy use and CO2 emissions.

Vancouver's Science World museum is undergoing a $39 million energy upgrade to become more sustainable and set an example for other large buildings. The 1985-built museum is implementing innovative techniques like 12 heat pumps, 298 solar panels, and a new pump room to reduce energy consumption by 42% and CO2 emissions by 66.5 tonnes annually. Funded by federal and provincial grants, the project aims to finish by March 2026.
