How will the next generation of LEED Canada be different from today’s rating system?
Instead of a one-time certification, the next generation of LEED Canada will offer a full life-cycle building performance management system. It will apply to all building types—new and existing—and be web-based. The key goal is to make the LEED certification streamlined, faster and easier to use, while maintaining its technical rigour. LEED Canada will be scalable across building portfolios and communities, and offer building performance management capabilities from design to disassembly, and measure actual energy and water demand. For the next few years, the CaGBC will collaborate with hundreds of pilot participants from all building sectors to develop actual performance baselines, starting with K-12 schools, and utilities, government and commercial buildings.
