Commercial Program

Our Commercial programs are currently in pilot phase.

Consistent with our other programs, our Commercial certifications include energy performance is modelled and verified by an Energy Advisor, licensed by Natural Resources Canada, to produce an EnerGuide label 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.
