National Green Building Conference
June 11 - 12
Metro Toronto Convention Centre . Toronto
If you consider green buildings as part of the solution to climate change or if you already profit from their environmental and economic benefits, Shifting Into the Mainstream is your must-attend event this year. You will find out where green building is heading and learn about the next generation of the LEED® rating system in Canada.


Hosted by the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC), the national non-profit organization managing the LEED program in Canada, the Summit will bring together a cross section of industry representatives sharing their experience with LEED, and its growing impact on all sectors of the building industry including existing and new commercial buildings. With a goal to stimulate discussion and gain valuable industry feedback, the Summit will also provide an opportunity for networking.

Featuring keynote speakers including David Suzuki and Ray Anderson, along with renowned building industry experts from across North America , the Summit program will deliver all you need to know to appreciate and prepare for green building opportunities ahead. Building performance measurement and life cycle management, economic opportunities of green buildings, the potential for national GHG reductions, and the best Canadian solutions for high performance buildings will be discussed.

By attending Shifting Into the Mainstream you will:

  • learn how the LEED Canada for Existing Buildings rating system (planned for release in early 2009) will help you take advantage of the design, financial, energy efficiency of high performance  green buildings;
  • get the findings on actual energy use in the 60 commercial buildings (more than 3 million m2) existing buildings involved in the CaGBC national pilot projects;
  • gain the knowledge and new contacts to better plan and operate high performance buildings that will benefit your bottom line and increase your competitive advantage;
  • meet other design and construction professionals, and owners and managers of commercial properties engaged in the pilot projects who are moving ahead with changes to existing and new building projects, and
  • learn about how to get involved in CaGBC’s national pilot project initiative.

If you want to know how green buildings can give you a competitive edge,
Shifting into the Mainstream is your opportunity to learn from owners who are moving ahead.


You'll never look at buildings the same way again.
