Mountain Equipment Co-op in Winnipeg is LEED Gold. By the end of the year we should have at least 10 or more Certified at minimum.

Spruce Grove is part of the Edmonton area, funny to see them listed apart.

i believe a building in Moncton New Brunswick will be one of the first out here to be Leeds cert.

There's a LEED Certified condo in North Van

alps · #7 Posted: **Jan 5, 2007, 3:32 AM**

I know an office building in Dartmouth built this year is LEED certified, and I think the two new high schools are also. The new NSCC campus in Darmouth, which is under construction, is "on track for receiving LEED silver certification".

Some LEEDS buildings are very attractive, and some are... well, not.
Photos would be nice and would tell more than just a statistical table!

Here is Manitoba's new policy. I think it was on here somewhere before but here it is again.

June 15, 2006

GREEN BUILDINGS POLICY ONE OF NORTH AMERICA'S MOST PROGRESSIVE: CHOMIAK
- - -
All New Provincially-funded Buildings To Meet International Environmental Standards

Manitoba’s green buildings policy will ensure new government-funded buildings are among the most environmentally friendly and energy efficient in North America, Energy, Science and Technology Minister Dave Chomiak said today.

"Green buildings reduce operating costs, protect the environment and are healthier places to work," said Chomiak. "We can use tax dollars more wisely and at the same time protect our environment and our health."

The new green buildings policy will apply to all commercial and institutional projects that are funded by the Government of Manitoba including Crown corporations and agencies. The policy would require all new capital projects, including schools and health-care facilities, to be certified leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED ) silver by the Canada Green Building Council.

The policy is expected to reduce energy expenditures for new buildings funded by the provincial government by at least one-third. Chomiak said the policy will also make an important contribution in helping Manitoba’s public buildings reduce their reliance on expensive, non-renewable fossil fuels, especially natural gas, the pricing of which has become unpredictable.

Along with meeting or exceeding the LEED silver certification, Manitoba-funded building projects will also be required to meet enhanced levels of energy efficiency. Each project will also be required to exceed Manitoba Hydro’s Power Smart Design standards.

LEED is an internationally-accepted green building rating system for certifying healthy, high-quality energy-efficient buildings that have fewer environmental impacts. LEED ranks projects according to their environmental and energy-efficiency objectives including water usage and access to public transit if available.

"Both government and the private sector recognize that green buildings make good economic sense," said Chomiak. "Enhancing the energy efficiency of government-funded projects will help reduce the amount of natural gas imported to the province and help maintain Manitoba Hydro’s electricity exports, which benefit all Manitobans."

The public is invited to comment on the plan over the next four months before the policy is finalized in the fall. More detailed consultations with stakeholders will also be held. More information is available at http://www.manitobaenergy.ca.

Registered Projects:

The Mountain Equipment Co-op store in Downtown Winnipeg is the first LEED building completed in Manitoba. There currently are 11 other LEED-registered projects in Manitoba that have either been recently completed or are in the design/construction phase including:

Smith Carter Architects and Engineers head office
Entegra Credit Union
Canadian Mennonite University student residence
Neepawa personal-care home
Manitoba Hydro new corporate headquarters
Winnipeg International Airport site redevelopment project
The Strand condos on Waterfront Drive in Winnipeg
Birks Building renovation and upgrade
Winnipeg Humane Society’s new animal shelter
University of Manitoba Aboriginal Students Centre
Aboriginal personal-care home

I know for Hamilton the LEED project was Steelcare. It's Canada's first industrial plant to be LEED certified, which got Gold.

Here's inside

This plant includes a 56 percent savings in heating costs through renewable solar energy sources, improved building envelop insulation, a heat recovery ventilator unit, and highly efficient gas tube heaters. Lower lighting consumption by reduced usage and occupancy sensors was another benefit. The building was constructed from 46 percent recycled content which is three-times the rating requirement.

Soon in Hamilton another LEED project will begin, it's a research building. Think it'll be Canada's first LEED research building.

Right now there's a student residence being built that will be LEED Platinum.

Here are some pictures of the new Nova Scotia Community College campus in Dartmouth, which, as I wrote before, is apparently "on track for receiving LEED silver certification". It's located on a very nice location on the shore of Halifax Harbour, and it faces the Halifax skyline. Still under construction (photos from Flickr and myself at SSC):

According to the list posted by whistlerinmuskoka, Vancouver alone already has a bunch of LEED research facilities. I didn't look through the other cities but I wouldn't be surprised if there were other ones already built. I'm just letting you know for the sake of accuracy. Still good news for Hamilton.
