Commercial Program

Our Commercial programs are currently in pilot phase.

Consistent with our other programs, our Commercial certifications include energy performance and the BUILT GREEN® plaque through Built Green Canada which rewards green features across our eight section of sustainable building, including: Energy & Envelope, Materials & Methods, Indoor Air Quality, Ventilation, Waste Management, Water Conservation, Occupant Wellness, and Business Practices. 

Small Commercial 

-  For mixed-used building, the commercial portion must account for at least 50% of conditioned space.

-  This certification is a two-in-one that requires that the building’s energy performance is modelled and verified by an Energy Advisor, licensed by Natural Resources Canada, to produce an EnerGuide label. 

Buildings of 3-stories in height or less, are less than 600 m2 in floor area, and follow part 9 of the building code.

Medium Commercial

-  For mixed-used building, the commercial portion must account for at least 50% of conditioned space.

-  This certification requires that the building's energy performance is modelled and verified by a professional engineer using NECB or ASHRAE, producing an energy report signed and bearing the seal of the professional engineer. 

Buildings of 3-stories in height or less, are less than 600 m2 in floor area, and follow part 9 of the building code.

All Commercial projects have BUILT GREEN® Verifier who works alongside the builder to collect documentation required for auditing purposes. Once the project has passed the audit, a BUILT GREEN® Commercial plaque is awarded for display.
