IES Technical Luncheon: LEED and WELL Standards: Reviewed from the lens of the Canada Green Building Council

The objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC), along with a look at the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) building standard and the WELL building standard. LEED is a rating system that is recognized as the international mark of excellence for green building in over 160 countries. Since 2002, the Canada Green Building Council and LEED Canada have been redefining the buildings and communities where Canadians live, work and learn. WELL is the leading tool for advancing health and well-being in buildings globally, specifically designed to address occupant comfort. Specific lighting requirements for each rating system will be explored, as well as lessons learned from a current project undergoing certification in both building standards.
