Canada Green Building
Council and Green Business
Certification Inc. Announce
Partnership
Canada Green Building Council
(CaGBC) and Green Business
Certification Inc. (GBCI) have signed
an agreement in principle to form a
Canadian joint venture called Green
Business Certification Inc. Canada
(GBCI Canada), with final terms anticipated to be agreed upon this summer.
Beginning in early 2018, GBCI Canada
will deliver all of the current and future
GBCI offerings including certification
and professional credentialing services
for LEED v4, WELL, SITES, PEER,
Parksmart, Zero Waste and GRESB in
Canada. The new organization is being
established to more effectively support
the Canadian market.
CaGBC, a not-for-profit, mission-driv-en organization is dedicated to the transformation of Canadian buildings, homes
and communities. CaGBC will continue
to engage and support the Canadian
green building industry, its members
and stakeholders through education and
training, advocacy and research, business
events and a range of other activities.
CaGBC will continue to provide certification reviews and market support for
LEED Canada, thereby not disrupting the
existing certification model for its customers. It will also deliver and support its
new Zero Carbon Building Standard.
Both organizations will be managed
by CaGBC President and CEO, Thomas
Mueller, to ensure seamless integration
and the effective advancement of both
organizations. Through growth
of various programs and servic-
es, revenue from GBCI Canada
will support CaGBC’s mission.
LEED will remain well-supported in
Canada. CaGBC will continue to certify
all LEED Canada projects. GBCI Canada
will deliver LEED v4 and all GBCI rating systems via LEED Online and Arc,
using Canadian staff and knowledge to
provide support.
“The urgency of addressing climate
change requires bold and innovative
new approaches to doing business,” said
Thomas Mueller, President and CEO,
CaGBC. “Forming GBCI Canada is a
critical step in CaGBC and GBCI’s strategy to scale up green building market
transformation and impact. Members of
the CaGBC, and the industry at large, will
benefit from this new organization dedicated exclusively to the delivery, enhanced
service and market support of a broader
range of green business solutions.”
GBCI is the premier organization
