The first step toward LEED certification is registering the project with the Canada Green Building Council. Registering early in the development process ensures the maximum potential for high building performance and establishes contact with the CaGBC.
What Does Registration Provide?
LEED project registration provides online access to reference resources and gives the team the ability to submit credit interpretation requests (CIRs). Two credit interpretation requests for each registered project are included in the registration fee. Additional CIRs are available for a nominal fee.
To register a project
1. Download the appropriate rating system.
2. Review the costs to register and certify
3. Go to the online form, fill it out, and submit.
You will be asked for available project data in the following categories:
- Project Team
- Project Information
- Project Program Data
The information supplied on the registration form will be used by the CaGBC for project tracking, answering credit interpretation requests, and preparing project case studies upon certification. Aggregate data for all registered projects will be used to expand the growing knowledge base of green building costs and trends.
The CaGBC values your privacy and does not provide your information to any third parties.
LEED for Homes registration
A Canadian LEED for Homes rating system will launch in the spring of 2009. Until then, we encourage you to register your project with the US Green Building Council, as hundreds of Canadian homes have already done.
