Canada Green Building Council
The Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC) is a Canadian organization created in 2003 to further the expansion of green building in Canada. Prior to the formation of the Council, Canada had participated in the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) through British Columbia's membership in the USGBC's Cascadia Chapter.
CAGBC was founded by its current President and CEO, Thomas Mueller, Kevin Hydes of Introba (previously Integral Group), Joe Van Belleghem, Jon Hobbs (formerly of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada) and Peter Busby of Perkins+Will Canada. It is a member of the World Green Building Council.
The CAGBC's mission is to lead and accelerate the transformation to high-performing, healthy green buildings, homes and communities throughout Canada. CAGBC promotes its Zero Carbon Building Standards, and through GBCI Canada, promotes the LEED rating system, Investor Confidence Project and Investor Ready Energy Efficiency certification, TRUE zero waste certification, SITES, and the WELL Building Standard.
The CAGBC Awards recognize individuals and organizations who have made outstanding contributions to Canada's green building industry. These awards include the Green Building Awards, the Leadership Awards, and the Andy Kesteloo Memorial Student Project Award. These awards celebrate projects, teams and individuals contributing to the advancement of green building in Canada.
The Canadian version of LEED is very similar to the USGBC NC version. It contains the following categories:
LEED Certification in Canada is done solely through CAGBC. Registration under LEED® Canada rating systems is closed; projects needed to submit for certification by October 31, 2022. New projects must register under LEED v4.
