Heating our buildings without impacting the climate

An image showing a series of images laid out on a light gray background. Presented like posters, these images are all taken from the report "Heat Exchange" and include both text and charts. At the center, seemingly floating in the air, is the cover image. On this cover, the title "Heat Exchange," in large capital letters, dominates the space, with the two letters "E" and "X" in blue and the rest of the word "change" in red. The letters of "Exchange" are not all aligned on the same baseline, giving it a sense of movement. The letters "E" and "G" create a gradient of shapes behind them with their outlines. The word "heat" is written above this title in smaller, on the left. Framing the cover is the Climate Institute logo at the top, and the subtitle "How today's policies will drive or delay Canada's transition to clean, reliable heat for buildings" at the bottom.
