What is LEED for Homes?

LEED Canada for Homes is a rating system that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes. A green home uses less energy, water and natural resources; creates less waste; and is healthier and more comfortable for the occupants.
The LEED® Canada for Homes Rating System measures the overall performance of a home in eight categories:
1. Innovation & Design Process
2. Location & Linkages
3. Sustainable Sites
4. Water Efficiency
5. Energy & Atmosphere
6. Materials & Resources
7. Indoor Environmental Quality
8. Awareness & Education
The level of performance is indicated by four performance tiers - Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum - according to the number of points earned. The Shift Home is aiming for LEED Platinum.
