If reporting certified projects, provide:
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a rating system that is recognized as the international mark of excellence for green building. In order to qualify, sustainability must be a primary concern in all phases of building design, construction, and operation. LEED certified Green buildings create a healthier working environment for staff and tenants, through better air ventilation and more natural daylight. Green buildings reduce waste, conserve energy, decrease water consumption, and drive innovation.
LEED Certified OR Certification Pending Buildings:
- Faculty of Social Sciences: 25,484 gross square metres (GOLD certification)
- Advanced Research Complex: 14,955 gross square metres (GOLD certification)
- Learning Centre: 14,905 gross square metres (Pending certification)
- STEM: 28,900 gross square metres (Pending certification)

The green building guidelines or policies:
The document is our design construction standards, in which we detail green building requirements.
http://www.uottawa.ca/facilities/sites/www.uottawa.ca.facilities/files/design_construction_guidelines_2016-10-01.pdf
Do the green building guidelines or policies cover the following?:
| Yes or No | |
| Impacts on the surrounding site (e.g. guidelines to reuse previously developed land, protect environmentally sensitive areas, and otherwise minimize site impacts) | Yes |
| Energy consumption (e.g. policies requiring a minimum level of energy efficiency for buildings and their systems) | Yes |
| Building-level energy metering | Yes |
| Use of environmentally preferable materials (e.g. guidelines to minimize the life cycle impacts associated with building materials) | No |
| Indoor environmental quality (i.e. guidelines to protect the health and comfort of building occupants) | Yes |
| Water consumption (e.g. requiring minimum standards of efficiency for indoor and outdoor water use) | Yes |
| Building-level water metering | Yes |
A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
The University of Ottawa's design construction guidelines ask that a LEED Silver certification be targeted, as a minimum, for new buildings and major renovations. These guidelines address all construction projects on campus, and set a baseline for how buildings should be constructed for our operations.
None
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
Since the guidelines are agreed upon in our construction contracts, they are enforced by contract law if our inspections find that the guidelines were not followed.
