The Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) accelerates the design and construction of green buildings in Canada. We are a broad-based inclusive coalition of representatives from different segments of the design and building industry.
Our Vision
A transformed built environment leading to a sustainable future
The Council will work to:
- change industry standards,
- develop best design practices and guidelines;
- advocate for green buildings, and
- develop educational tools to support its members in implementing sustainable design and construction practices.
- The CaGBC has completed its Strategic Plan for 2007.
LEED Canada InitiativeThe LEED Canada Initiative is the creation of a tool that will allow for rapid expansion of green building certifications in Canada. With the view that every building can aspire to sustainability, the CaGBC aims to certify 100,000 green commercial buildings and one million green homes by 2015, and to take giant steps towards net-zero emissions from buildings by 2030. Given that buildings are responsible for up to one-third of Canada’s total GHG emissions, this will have a major impact on overall reduction.
