LEED v4 Regional Priority Credit Selection

Canada

2

What are Regional Priority Credits? Regional Priority credits were introduced in the LEED 2009 rating systems to incentivize achievement of credits that address regional environmental priorities. Regional Priority credits are not new LEED credits; rather they are existing credits that have been designated as particularly important for specific geographic areas, or zones, within a country. Each project may choose up to four credits from a list of six and may earn one additional point if the selected credit is achieved. Regional Priority credits are based on a list of predetermined eligible credits from the appropriate LEED rating system. How were Regional Priority Credits selected in LEED v4? Members of the LEED Canada Steering Committee and the Canadian Technical Advisory Groups, as well as the Executive Directors of the Canadian Chapters, were asked to identify the top environmental issues in Canada from the list below. These categories were established as part of the LEED development process and used to weight, or determine point value for, each credit and credit category in LEED. The committee and chapter volunteers were asked to identify the top three to five issues and whether each issue was considered a localized issue in a particular region of the country, or was considered a nationwide issue. Environmental Issues Reverse Contribution to Global Climate Change

• GHG Emissions Reduction from Building Operations Energy Use • GHG Emissions Reduction from Transportation Energy Use • GHG Emissions Reduction from Materials and Water Embodied Energy Use • GHG Emissions Reduction by Embodied Energy of Water Reduction • GHG Emissions Reduction from a Cleaner Energy Supply • Global Warming Potential Reduction from Non-Energy Related Drivers

Enhance Individual Human Health and Well-Being

• Support Occupant Comfort and Well-Being • Protect Human Health from Direct Exposure to Negative Health Impacts • Protect Human Health Globally and Across the Entire Built Environment Life Cycle

Protect and Restore Water Resources

• Water Conservation • Water Quality Protection • Protection and Restoration of Water Regimes and Natural Hydrological Cycles

Protect, Enhance and Restore Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

• Local Biodiversity, Habitat Protection and Open Spaces • Global Biodiversity, Habitat Protection and Land Preservation • Sustainable Use and Management of Ecosystem Services

Promote Sustainable and Regenerative Material Resources Cycles

• Reduce Raw Material Resources Extraction • Move to Cyclical, Non-Depleting Material Cycles • Reduce Negative Environmental Impacts Throughout the Materials Life-Cycle

Build a Greener Economy

• Enhance the Value Proposition of Green Building

3

• Strengthen the Green Building Industry and Supply Chain • Promote Innovation and Integration of Green Building Products and Services • Incentivize Long Term Growth and Investment Opportunities • Support Local Economies

Enhance Social Equity, Environmental Justice, Community Health and Quality of Life

• Create a Strong Sense of Place • Provide Affordable, Equitable and Resilient Communities • Promote Access to Neighborhood Completeness Resources • Promote Human Rights and Environmental Justice

The following were chosen as the top five issues in Canada.

Environmental Issues Identified for Canada Location Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction from Building Operations Energy Use Nationwide Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction from Transportation Energy Use Nationwide Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction from a Cleaner Energy Supply Localized Water Conservation Nationwide Reduce Negative Environmental Impacts throughout the Materials Life-Cycle Nationwide

Once these environmental issues were selected, staff worked with volunteers to create Regional Priority Zones based on empirical ecology and population datasets.1 These zones allow Canada to be divided into geographic areas where particular LEED credits will have more importance than others. Note however, that for LEED v4 for Neighbourhood Development the regional priority credits were set at a national level with one region. Finally, the USGBC provided a list of recommended credits for each Regional Priority Zone. The credits were identified based on how strongly they are linked with the identified environmental issues, and with the issues associated with the applicable ecology and population data. Through discussion, the CaGBC’s volunteers reached consensus and selected six Regional Priority credits for each Regional Priority Zone for each rating system family. USGBC staff then translated these selections across all LEED rating systems for each Regional Priority Zone. Regional Priority credits are currently available for all LEED v4 rating systems. A Regional Priority credit look up is available on the USGBC website and the credits are noted on the following pages. How are Regional Priority Credits indicated on a project? When a LEED v4 project registers in LEED Online, the project is linked to a specific set of geographical coordinates, which allows LEED Online to identify the Regional Priority credits available to the project. These credits are then identified for users, and each Regional Priority credit successfully pursued is automatically awarded a Regional Priority Credit during certification.

APPENDIX – GIS Datasets In order to more accurately identify Regional Priority credits in LEED v4, two primary GIS dataset types were used to create Regional Priority zones. The following climate and population datasets were used to create the Regional Priority zone shapes in Canada. Climate Data USGBC collaborated with CaGBC to integrate Ecozones defined by the Canadian Government’s National Ecological Framework for Canada into a GIS-based map of Canada. USGBC and CaGBC used a GIS tool to simplify a few of the Canada-specific zones into more general classifications. More information about the climate dataset and a map of the dataset can be found at: http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/nsdb/ecostrat/gis_data.html Population Data In order to more accurately map the distinction between urban and rural areas, USGBC used population density data from the United Nations and national censuses that predicts the scale of urban areas in 2015. The delineation for an urban area is considered any area within a city or town with at least 193 people per square kilometer (500 people per square mile). More information about the population density dataset, including downloads of the data, can be found at: http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/gpw-v3-population-density-future-estimates
