Federal public servants in Ottawa who work remotely contributed 25 per cent fewer emissions than those who worked only from the office.

Remote workers in Quebec contributed even fewer emissions thanks to greener homes heated by electric baseboards.

A major public-sector union was quick to laud the results as further evidence of the benefits of remote work.

Unions representing public servants promised a summer of discontent’ after the federal government announced it would mandate federal workers back to the office three days a week.
