Over the last year the green building industry in Manitoba has seen an explosion in Green Globes Certified projects. Since December 2010, 9 projects have formally completed Green Globes Certification. Manitoba’s Green Globes revolution has provided a welcome contrast to the province’s LEED certification experience where only 13 projects have completed LEED certification since 2004. Stay tuned, as 2012 is looking like the year Green Globes surpasses LEED as Central Canada’s foremost Green Building Certification System.
Manitoba is an environment of extremes with a 70°C temperature range, the lowest utility rates in North America, and typified by smaller projects that face extraordinary challenges in justifying the high cost of documentation required for LEED.
In response to these challenges DIAGRAM has developed a unique process for green building certification that combines the power of Green Building Information Modeling with the flexibility of the Green Globes Rating System to empower designers to design and certify their sustainable building projects in a way that is faster, much more practical and costs less than half of LEED certification.
