• Protect and restore water resources
• Protect and enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services
• Promote sustainable and regenerative material cycles
• Build a green economy • Enhance community quality
of life
New credit category to improve alignment between commercial rating systems & LEED ND
More performance-based credits with improved ties to anticipated outcome
o bicycle facilities [link to bike network]
o quality transit [trip frequency, walking distance]
o Outdoor water use prerequisite (BD&C)
o Addressing all water uses including fixtures & fittings, process, appliances, cooling towers, and outdoor water
o Building level water metering prerequisite
o Credit for metering of subsystems
Minimum Energy Performance: 5% above ASHRAE 90.1-2010; minimum ENERGY STAR score now 75
Building level energy metering required for all projects
Enhanced Commissioning incl. envelope option
New credit for Demand Response
Green Power includes carbon offsets

LEED v4: LEED is Global
LEED International
Model for Internationalization
28
Principle of “Global consistency + local relevancy”
o Regional Priority Credits
o Alternative Compliance Paths (ACPs)
29
An alterative approach to easily apply LEED in Canada o Alternative national-level standards
o Revised definitions where requirements rely heavily on US programs
What wouldn’t be an ACP? o Increasing or decreasing a credit threshold to
address market differences
What is an ACP?
Model for Internationalization
30
Delivery:
o Certification provided by CaGBC to GBCI standards
o LEED Online
o More frequent updates
