Now available: LEED Canada project registration for Core and Shell projects

In response to interest in the recognition of leased tenant space in the LEED Canada, the CaGBC is proud to launch the Application
Guide for Core and Shell Buildings and Leased Tenant Spaces, LEED® Canada for New Construction and Major Renovations. The guide can be downloaded from the document section of "MyCaGBC" <http://my.cagbc.org/index.php?language=1>
. The document is free to CaGBC members, and available for $55 for non-members.

"The LEED Canada Core and Shell certification applies to projects where the base building developer does not want to impose many LEED requirements on the tenants," says Anne Auger, vice-president of LEED Canada. "The application guide describes how leased tenant spaces are to be treated within
the LEED Canada rating system."

Specifically, the application guide covers two sets of requirements:
1. The requirements leased spaces must meet in order for the overall building to achieve LEED Canada for New Construction certification.
2. The requirements for LEED Canada Core and Shell certification.

The guide is relevant to new construction or major renovations projects with leased spaces. The application guide will be applied retroactively to allow everyone to benefit from its flexibility. Project teams now involved in the LEED Canada for New Construction certification process are encouraged to contact the CaGBC at 1-866-941-1184 or info@cagbc.org <mailto:%20info@cagbc.org> .
