Light House this month announced the launch of Bluprint, which the Vancouver-based organization describes as Canada’s first national business accelerator dedicated to sustainable construction.
Light House, on a mission to help government and industry “advance regenerative built environments that nurture ecological and human health,” notes how buildings account for roughly 13% of Canada’s direct greenhouse gas emissions—a figure which rises to nearly 30% when construction and materials are included.
The sustainable construction sector represents a $50B market opportunity, the company believes.
Moreover, many of the technologies needed to build lower-carbon resilient infrastructure already exist—but without clear pathways to commercialization and deployment, most remain under-utilized.
Bluprint is designed to address the gap by helping companies gain market traction, build investment, and scale solutions in the construction sector.
Building on the success of Light House’s Circular Construction Accelerator, Bluprint is purpose-built for the construction sector and expands the model with structured pathways supporting companies across all stages of growth.
Through the program, businesses gain access to a national network of industry experts, developers, contractors, public sector partners, and investors to navigate real-world projects and gain traction.
Funded by PacifiCan in 2025, Light House has thus far supported more than 24 companies to advance their solutions in the market.
Applications are now open for upcoming cohorts beginning in June and July, with programs ranging from three to six months.
Beyond Bluprint, Light House is known for The Construction Plastics Initiative, which diverted nearly 40,000 kilograms of plastics from eight construction sites across the Lower Mainland in order to sort and then reprocess some of the material.
