LEED® Canada-NC 1.0 for new construction (LEED-NC) is a comprehensive, voluntary, market-driven green building rating system. It evaluates performance on a range of ecological and human health issues from a whole building perspective, providing a definitive benchmark for what constitutes a ‘green building.’

LEED-NC recognizes buildings that incorporate design, construction and operational practices that combine healthy, high quality and high-performance systems and materials with reduced environmental impacts. Understanding LEED-NC is an important step towards reducing environmental impacts and achieving superior economic performance in buildings.
