• Protect and restore water resources

• Protect and enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services

• Promote sustainable and regenerative material cycles

• Build a green economy • Enhance community quality

of life

New credit category to improve alignment between commercial rating systems & LEED ND

More performance-based credits with improved ties to anticipated outcome

o bicycle facilities [link to bike network]

o quality transit [trip frequency, walking distance]

o Outdoor water use prerequisite (BD&C)

o Addressing all water uses including fixtures & fittings, process, appliances, cooling towers, and outdoor water

o Building level water metering prerequisite

o Credit for metering of subsystems

Minimum Energy Performance: 5% above ASHRAE 90.1-2010; minimum ENERGY STAR score now 75

Building level energy metering required for all projects

Enhanced Commissioning incl. envelope option

New credit for Demand Response

Green Power includes carbon offsets

LEED v4: LEED is Global

LEED International

Model for Internationalization

28

Principle of “Global consistency + local relevancy”

o Regional Priority Credits

o Alternative Compliance Paths (ACPs)

29

An alterative approach to easily apply LEED in Canada o Alternative national-level standards

o Revised definitions where requirements rely heavily on US programs

What wouldn’t be an ACP? o Increasing or decreasing a credit threshold to

address market differences

What is an ACP?

Model for Internationalization

30

Delivery:

o Certification provided by CaGBC to GBCI standards

o LEED Online

o More frequent updates
