Nirwair Singh Bajwa was one of Corporate Knights 2019 30 Under 30 Sustainability Leaders. Here's why:
Nirwair Singh Bajwa had recently moved to Edmonton from India to start a master’s degree in chemical engineering when he became aware of the pressing need to make Canada’s buildings more efficient (at this point, they’re responsible for roughly 20% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions). Nirwair now works as a sustainability analyst on Stantec Edmonton’s Sustainability and Building Performance Team. And thanks to his efforts, the 66-storey Stantec Tower in Edmonton has health and wellness woven into its design, complete with a Community Supported Agriculture drop-off program and access to 13 kilometres of pedestrian paths to promote employee health. The chair of the Emerging Green Professionals (EGPs) program at the Canada Green Building Council is also active with PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) Alberta, where he’s helped remove financial barriers to the retrofit economy.
