The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system continued to transform the way buildings are designed, built and operated throughout 2016. Nearly two dozen projects registered under the latest version of the rating system, LEED v4, while the very first commercial project was certified, confirming the Canadian industry’s ability to meet the latest requirements for sustainable buildings. In particular, LEED v4 puts greater emphasis on the health and life cycle impacts of materials, and drives greater greenhouse gas reductions.
To help build capacity, new LEED v4 education was developed, including 15 original webinars and on-demand courses.
