The CaGBC, in partnership with the USGBC, has developed guidance on the application of the Canadian ACPs for LEED-ND 2009. Topics covered include instructions for using LEED Online to submit documentation for the ACPs; certification submittals for the ACPs (where necessary); and helpful reference materials related specifically to the standards and methods in the ACPs. View the Guidance for Canadian Projects using LEED 2009 for Neighbourhood Development. LEED-ND 2009 projects worldwide register and certify through Green Business Certification Inc (GBCI). Canadian LEED-ND 2009 projects follow the same certification process, referring to the LEED-ND 2009 Canadian ACPs as required.
