Sustainable Building Policy

The City of Calgary is committed to building green. We're developing sustainable buildings that enhance the indoor and outdoor environment, reduce the impact on natural resources and provide long-term energy savings to the citizens of Calgary.

Under The City of Calgary's Sustainable Building Policy, all new occupied City-owned and City-funded buildings in excess of 500m2 must meet or exceed the gold level of the LEED® New Construction rating system and major renovations of occupied facilities must meet or exceed either the certified level of the LEED® New Construction rating system or the silver level of the LEED® Commercial Interiors rating system. Minor renovations, unoccupied buildings, landscape/non-building infrastructure, and projects involving <500m2 are directed to follow The City of Calgary's Sustainable Building Best Practices. Calgary was the first Canadian municipality to adopt a sustainable building policy.
