Citing delays in reviews and response to questions as well as unfamiliarity with the Canadian version of LEED, a U.S. based Owner wishes to pursue LEED Silver for a project in Canada with U.S. LEED rather than LEED Canada. Does anyone know if this is possible? desirable?

Canadian projects have registered and certified in the US in the past in cases where the rating system isn't offered in Canada (i.e.: Retail, Healthcare.) Version 4 will all be done under the GBCI/USGBC. The most certain answer will be from the CAGBC: CaGBC National Office 47 Clarence Street, Suite 202 Ottawa, Ontario K1N 9K1 Toll-Free: (866) 941-1184 Tel: (613) 241-1184 Fax: (613) 241-4782 Email: info@cagbc.org
