A little over a year after launch, LEED Canada for Homes is growing quickly with almost 800 homes registered in every province and supported by a provider network of 11 organizations from Vancouver to Halifax.

Alberta has recently brought on two new providers, EcoAmmo in Edmonton and 4 Elements Integrated Design in Calgary. These new providers have greatly increased the number of registered projects from Alberta and improved support for existing Alberta projects.  

Another area of growth has been Atlantic Canada with a new Provider added in March. Registrations from the east coast have gone up significantly given the modestly sized market.  

Related updates include the recently launched Reference Guide, which is now available. CaGBC members can order it for $295 from the CaGBC. As well, CaGBC members have been pushing for an upgrade of the prerequisite for energy performance within LEED Canada for Homes. The CaGBC is working with technical volunteers to craft the new minimum level for energy performance.  This fall, the LEED AP Homes exam and credential will launch in Canada; many builders, developers, architects and project teams are eagerly awaiting its release. 

For more information or to order the reference guide, visit www.cagbc.org/leed/homes/ or contact your local Provider.
