Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Canada (LEED Canada):

The LEED Canada-NC 1.0 Rating System recognizes leading edge buildings that incorporate design, construction and operational practices that combine healthy, high-quality and high-performance advantages with reduced environmental impacts. They provide a voluntary, consensus-based, market-responsive set of criteria that evaluate project performance from a whole-building, whole-life perspective, providing a common understanding for what constitutes a "green building" in the Canadian context. An increasing number of Canadian jurisdictions now require a certain standard of LEED certification on new building construction.
