Quebec’s green building sector is evolving fast—are you ready?

What do the LEED^® updates mean to your overall sustainable strategy? How can you clearly convey the value of certification to your clients? And what are the implications to the value of your asset portfolio? These questions and more will be explored at the LEED v5 Summit, hosted by CAGBC in collaboration with Bâtiment durable Québec (BDQ), in Montreal on October 30.

This exclusive, half-day event offers an in-depth look at the latest evolution of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). The summit will feature presentations from leading experts in the field, including Joël Courchesne from the City of Montreal, Hugo Lafrance from Lemay, and Guillaume Martel from Provencher Roy Associés Architectes Inc., members of CAGBC’s LEED Advisory Committee.

Presenters will walk through the most important technical updates including prerequisites and credits across both Building Design and Construction (BD+C) and Operations & Maintenance (O+M) rating systems, helping you understand how to effectively navigate certification under the new standard. They will also address the broader business potential for Quebec builders.  

What’s in it for you?

For building owners and investors, the summit provides a clear view of how LEED v5 can future-proof assets, protect value, and reduce long-term risk. As market dynamics shift and regulations tighten, understanding the updated rating system equips owners to make informed investment decisions and position themselves as industry leaders.  

For architects, engineers, and design professionals, the summit provides insights that enhance credibility with clients, differentiate expertise, and position projects to win larger opportunities. Attendees will gain practical guidance on the most significant updates to credits and prerequisites, allowing them to confidently integrate LEED v5 strategies into their work.

“LEED v5 is designed to align building performance with the economic realities of today’s market,” says Mark Hutchinson, Senior Vice President, Green Building Programs & Innovation at CAGBC. “It’s about creating long-term value for owners and occupants, while giving design professionals the tools to deliver high-performing buildings that stand out in the market.”

The importance of building connections

As well as packed with critical pathways to grow your business, the event offers networking opportunities that will allow participants to connect with decision-makers across design, development, and asset management.

Attendees will leave with actionable insights and new connections to help advance projects that deliver both performance and profitability. For anyone involved in shaping Quebec’s built environment, the LEED v5 Summit is a must-attend event to understand how this next generation of certification can unlock tangible business value.
