Municipalities across Canada have been among the early adopters of green building practices and the LEED® Green Building Rating System. The CaGBC’s training session, From Policy to Practice for the Public Sector, equips public sector leaders and decision makers with the tools required to go from high-performance building policy to action.

From Policy to Practice for the Public Sector is a one-day workshop that supports municipal staff responsible for facilities development and management. The workshop delivers:

• An overview of sustainable building principles, including the LEED® rating system
• Green building short- and long-term environmental, economic and health benefits
• Current capital costs associated with different levels of LEED® certification and highlight of operational, productivity and health benefits to be realized over the life of the building—including the capital costs associated with different levels of LEED certification and highlights of benefits to be achieved over the life of the building

• The integrated design process (IDP) as key to successful high-performance building projects
