LEED Canada-NC 1.0 rating system addresses the performance of commercial and institutional buildings, i.e., buildings regulated by Part 3 of the National Building Code (NBC). It also applies to retail, mid- and high-rise Multi-Unit Residential Buildings, public assembly buildings, etc. Since it was primarily designed for commercial office buildings, applicants may want to consider submitting a Credit Interpretation Request where they may feel the need to propose an alternative pathway to meet credit requirements.

Applicants with MURB projects should consult the MURB Application Guide.

Applicants with multiple buildings should consult the Campus and Multi-Building Application Guide.

Applicants with space that is not fitted out at the time of certification (e.g., intended for future lease) should read about the anticipated LEED® Canada for Core & Shell.
