BREEAM Green Leaf eco-rating program : CMHC multi-residential building assessment pilot : final report / ECD Energy and Environment Canada Ltd.: NH18-1/364-2001E-PDF

"There are many reasons for measuring the environmental performance of buildings, chief among them being that it can help building owners decide where to put their retrofit dollars to improve their buildings and reduce operating costs. In North America, there is a large stock of buildings constructed in the 50's and 60's whose systems are reaching obsolescence and will require major retrofit. This is an opportune time to be making environmental enhancements to these buildings, which can improve their bottom line. CMHC commissioned the environmental assessment of six high-rise multi-residential buildings, using the BREEAM Green Leaf assessment methodology. The purpose of the pilot assessment was to obtain property manager feedback on their buildings' environmental issues, then on the value of environmental assessment, and to find ways to improve upon the current methodology"--Executive summary, p. 1.
