The reduction in glass is surely driven by budget but also by the changes to the Ontario Building Code that came into effect in January of this year. The changes make it very difficult for a building to be built with more than 40% glazing without doing extensive energy modelling to prove that it still meets new energy standards. That means all those glassy condos that have been built in Toronto the last few years would be essentially impossible to build today.
