The Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) has embarked upon a multi-year development project to introduce the next generation of LEED in Canada through theLEED Canada Initiative. In parallel to this effort, the CaGBC also launched GREEN UP - Canada's Building Performance Program (formerly called Green Building Performance Initiative) a focused effort to develop an affordable and easily accessible tool for energy and environmental management for new and existing buildings. Both initiatives will enable large-scale reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, energy savings, and other environmental benefits for all building types and communities across Canada.
