Rewarding Innovation

We continue to encourage new approaches to sustainable building—and as part of this, our programs reward innovative sustainable building practices above and beyond what is contained within our programs. These practices may be awarded with innovation points on our program checklists. 

Checklist Points

For points to apply, the innovation must be tied to the BUILT GREEN® project going for certification and will be reviewed by the Technical Standards Committee. Points are awarded based on the significance, improvement, and measurability of the innovative practice. Submissions may also be considered for adoption into the following year’s program checklist. We're also encouraging reporting on embodied carbon for innovation points.


Hearing from industry helps to keep our programs progressive, as we recognize that those on the ground, doing the work, are often the ones learning and finding new ways of doing things.

Buildings Overheating: What Are Your Innovative Practices? 

Given our changing climate, the performance of a building may be impacted. Beyond passive solar design shading, we are interested in learning what strategies you have implemented to address this. Innovation point eligibility may apply.

The organization offers programs for single family (including Net Zero+), single family renovations, high density (including multi-storey, residential tower, and mixed-use), high density renovation projects, and a communities program in pilot.
