Multi-Unit Residential Building (MURB) Application Guide
to LEED® Canada-NC (launched in 2005)
This application guide was prepared to provide additional clarification on Requirements and Submittals as they relate to particular LEED Credits. This guide highlights only those alternate compliance Requirements and Submittals for specific Prerequisites and Credits that required clarification for these building types, and for mixed-use buildings that include residential occupancies. Any Requirements outlined in this document are in addition to those already documented in LEED Canada NC 1.0 for specific Credits; and should not be used for other occupancies, except as noted for mixed-use buildings with a residential component. The existing compliance paths described in the LEED Canada-NC 1.0 rating system are still available to MURB projects; the alternative compliance paths described herein are in addition to those compliance paths.
As well, this Application Guide provides some common definitions and terms, and refines others for the low- and high-rise multi-unit residential context.
