How does the CaGBC plan to achieve its 2015 goal of certifying 100,000 buildings and 1 million homes?
This is an ambitious goal, but the building industry can play a significant role in lowering Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by as much as a third of the country’s total reduction target. Achieving this goal will require industry-wide participation, and that’s why we’ve made the LEED Canada Initiative to be so collaborative and feedback-based. Furthermore, a feature of the next generation of the LEED Canada rating system is its scalability. A developer or owner of multiple buildings can scale certification across the entire building inventory, rather than have to go through individual certifications for each building.
