Built Green Canada
Built Green Canada is a non-profit organization.〔https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/scr/cc/CorporationsCanada/fdrlCrpDtls.html?corpId=4537874〕 with environmental certification programs for residential builders.〔http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/GreenHomeGuide(web).pdf〕 Calgary-based builder, Jay Westman (President and CEO of (Jayman BUILT® )), with (Canadian Home Builders' Association-Calgary Region ), founded Built Green Canada in 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Home Living )〕 Using the (Built Green program in Colorado ) as a model, which was later customized to be relevant to the Canadian market. With input from industry professionals, such as builders, manufacturers, developers, and trades, along with (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) ), (SAIT Polytechnic ), (Natural Resources Canada ) (NRCan), and the Alberta Research Council and Climate Change Central, the organization was formed〔http://chba.ca/uploads/Policy%20Archive/2010/Built%20Green%20Briefing%20Note-Oct10.pdf〕
The organization started with Alberta members, then expanded into British Columbia.〔 As of 2014, it gained its first (Saskatchewan- ) and Manitoba-based members. It has a Board of Directors, a Technical Standards Committee, and the office (now headquartered in Edmonton). The organization has certified over (23,500 BUILT GREEN® homes ) represented in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Ontario, and including the units in multi-storey, the total is 25,750 (as of March 2015). In Ontario, the program is referred to as "Green Seal".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Built Green - Mindscape Innovations Group Inc. - Ontario Canada )〕 In 2007, Built Green Canada was recognized with an Emerald Award,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Innovation Alberta: Article Details )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ecological Exemplars )〕 in partnership with SAIT and (Enervision ), which "celebrate() and inspire() environmental excellence".〔http://emeraldfoundation.ca〕 Builders' BUILT GREEN® homes have also been recognized for their environmental conscious design.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Green thumbs up for Edmonton builder )〕〔http://www.dlsc.ca/awards/June14%20%202006%20Climate%20Change%20Sterling%20Homes%20Emerald%20Award%20Recipients%20%20_2_.pdf〕
==Sustainable Building==
Sustainable building, or green building, has become increasingly popular,〔http://www.chba.ca/uploads/enviroment/s%20hm%20presidents%20message%20-%20july%202007.pdf〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CHBA - "Greening" Your New Home )〕 both for the environmentally conscious builder and for those responding to consumer demand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Built Green program sees slight dip in Q1 )〕 Various programs〔https://www.bchydro.com/content/dam/hydro/medialib/internet/documents/power_smart/builders_developers/a12-002_psnh_comparison.pdf〕 have developed to encourage and guide builders through the sustainable construction of their homes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Green standards becoming the norm, not the exception )〕 These range from energy-focused programs, such as ENERGY STAR, to programs that include green features exceeding energy requirements, such as (Built Green Canada ), (R-2000 ), Net Zero, LEED, and Passive House. National organizations, Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation〔http://www.cmhc.ca/en/co/moloin/moloin_008.cfm〕 and Genworth Financial Canada〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Energy-Efficient Housing Program - Products - Genworth Canada )〕 recognize energy efficient homes with rebates for homeowners.
Building homes has a considerable impact on the environment〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WHY BUILD GREEN? Infographic explaining green building's many benefits - Green Building Canada )〕 from natural resource use to landfill waste to production of greenhouse gases.〔http://www.chba.ca/uploads/policy%20archive/2013/Recognizing%20Success%20-%202012.pdf〕 Housing also accounts for a substantial amount of energy use in Canadian homes: 17%.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Housing Research )〕 With these green building programs focused on reducing builders' and homeowners' environmental footprint, accumulatively, they have the potential to drastically reduce wide-scale energy use and foster sustainable building practices. For the homeowner, these programs help them qualify for incentive programs,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Grants and Financial Incentives )〕 mortgage rebates〔http://www.cmhc.ca/en/co/moloin/moloin_011.cfm〕 and insurance premiums,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Energy-Efficient Housing Program - Products - Genworth Canada )〕 and lower utility bills〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Energy-efficient homes )〕 through reduced energy and water use. Affordability, relating to home ownership, continues to be a serious concern for industry〔http://www.chba.ca/uploads/Policy%20Archive/2012/Affordability&Accessibility-Oct2012.pdf〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CHBA - Press Releases )〕 and homeowners, because, as the Canadian Home Builders' Association says, "()ew home prices are being driven higher by government actions, particularly at the municipal and provincial levels."〔http://www.chba.ca/uploads/Communications/CHBA_Creating%20a%20New%20Conversation.pdf〕 Many municipalities have departments or strategies focused on sustainable growth, some of which include the endorsement of environmental programs such as those of Built Green Canada〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Built Green Canada Launches Second Challenge to Municipalities )〕
