Standard that is now a requirement for all new larger buildings in the city. It is based on<br />
similar criteria to LEED and also addresses waste issues. In the housing sector a version of<br />
LEED for Homes has been adopted but has so far had limited impact. Other housing ratings<br />
such as R2000 and Energy Star focus more on operational energy use.<br />
In recent years the Living Building Challenge has attracted considerable attention, although<br />
so far a very small numbers of buildings have achieved the standard. This is an attempt to<br />
define an environmentally neutral building, and includes criteria such as net zero energy and<br />
water. One of the requirements is for 80% to 100% diversion rates for all waste depending on<br />
the material.<br />
4. Guidance documents/ <strong>report</strong>s linked to construction waste <strong>reduction</strong><br />
There are several sources of information and resource materials available for reducing CRD<br />
waste in Canada. Additional information is often drawn from the US. Much of this is in the<br />
form of guidance documents, case studies, best practices models, and model specifications<br />
and contracts. Considerable work is being done to increase awareness of the CRD waste<br />
issue, but the extent of progress being made is, at present, unclear.<br />
