W elcome to the 2014 CaGBC National Conference and Expo

in Toronto. I am honoured to be this year’s conference chair. The CaGBC Conference and Expo, Building Lasting Change, makes it possible for industry professionals and enthusiasts to gather each year and experience the value of sustainable practices and learn from others.

This year’s conference explores the value of green through the lens of sustainable building, real estate and neighbourhood development. The program will go beyond the operational savings of building

green and focus on the benefits of enhanced health and well-being, tenant attraction and retention, and innovation and job growth.

These themes resonate well for me as VP Conservation at the Ontario Power Authority. We are focused on promoting innovative green technologies and systems as well as delivering cost effective energy efficient solutions for businesses and residents that help customers better manage their electricity consumption.

I hope you enjoy this year’s conference.

LETTER FROM THE HONORARY CHAIR

The Cement Association of Canada would like to welcome you to

Building Lasting Change, the 2014 CaGBC National Conference. As presenting sponsor for the third year, we are excited to be part of this marquee annual event.

The release of LEED v4 and the growing emphasis on transparency and performance data in the green building movement mark an important transition: now more than ever, we can leverage the power of integrative thinking to optimize the sustainability performance of our built environment.

CaGBC is on the leading edge of this transformation in Canada. This year’s conference theme ‘Exploring the Value of Green Building’ captures our growing depth of knowledge

about the “win-win-win” benefits of green building and sustainable infrastructure. No doubt the next few days will further strengthen the evidence that sustainable design and construction is a wise investment.

Collaboration is key to success in building for sustainability, and the CAC remains a committed partner. Our motto is “Build it once. Build it right. Build it to last.. and Build it together.”

On behalf of the CAC’s members – Ciment Québec, ESSROC Italcementi Group, Federal White Cement Ltd., Holcim Canada, Lafarge Canada, Lehigh Hanson Canada, St Marys Cement Group and Colacem Canada – I wish you an inspirational and productive conference.

A MESSAGE FROM THOMAS MUELLER

On behalf of the Canada Green Building

Council, I would like to welcome you to

Building Lasting Change, the 2014 CaGBC National

Conference and Expo.

This year’s theme ‘Exploring the Value of Green

Building’ addresses leading edge information

on the business case and performance of green

buildings, and also embraces the broader value

proposition of building green. This means going

beyond the operational savings and environmental

outcomes to explore benefits such as return on

investment, tenant attraction and retention,

employee health and productivity, innovation,

and job creation. These issues will be explored

over the next three days during thought-provoking

keynotes and education sessions.

We are fortunate to have Mike Pedersen this year

to open the conference. As President & CEO of

TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank®, Mike

provides a business perspective and shares his

involvement in TD’s sustainability efforts including

green building as a key pillar of overall corporate

sustainability programs.

The business perspective will be complemented

by a gala keynote, Janine Benyus, who will tell us

what we can learn from the natural world in the

move toward low-impact buildings. A renowned

biologist and biomimicry expert, Janine will share

her expertise in emulating and preserving nature’s

genius to create a healthier, more sustainable

planet. I believe we all stand to be inspired and

learn a great deal about what it means to take a

truly sustainable approach to design.

I am also very much looking forward to hearing

from noted architect day two Keynote Stefan

Behnisch, Partner at Behnisch Architekten, on

advanced sustainable building design, as he draws

on his experiences in Germany and the U.S.

Another big focus of the 2014 conference is

LEED v4, which was formally launched by USGBC

in November 2013. Our Transformative Power of

LEED stream presents important insights into LEED

v4, including the introduction of product life-cycle

assessment and transparency (Environmental

Product Declarations), the Canadian Alternative

Compliance Paths (ACPs), the new LEED dynamic

plaque, and other upgrades the rating system has

in store for the industry.

As in previous years, the conference is an

opportunity to recognize those projects and

people that have made a difference in 2013. I am

pleased that we are once again working with SAB

Magazine to recognize national excellence with

the Canadian Green Building Awards presented

at the Welcome Reception. We are also honouring

the 2014 green building leaders through the

Annual CaGBC Leadership Awards at the Gala

on Tuesday night. I commend all the individuals

who are committed to doing things differently

and pushing innovation in green building.

I wish you all a great event and hope that you

come away inspired and ready for the big changes

coming to the green building movement this year.

President and CEO, Canada Green Building Council

PROGRAM STREAM DESCRIPTIONSSTREAM 1 - NET POSITIVE BUILDINGS - Next generation buildings with ambitious performance requirements that

meet net-zero, low impact or regenerative targets such as the LEED Platinum buildings and homes, Living Building Challenge

and Passive House, are the focus of this stream. Key projects that emphasize continuous improvements to deliver environmen-

tal and financial dividends with the added benefit of improved health and productivity will be included. Innovative products,

materials and technologies necessary to produce and support these types of projects will also be discussed in this stream.

STREAM 2 - LEADING THE WAY: GREEN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE - The green office space in Canada

continues to be one of the fastest growing aspects of the commercial real estate market. Delegates will learn how resiliency

and adaptability factor into the design, build, operation, and success of truly sustainable projects. Results from performance

improvements and environmental gains through better design and operations, return on investment including tenant attrac-

tion, retention and satisfaction, and green strategies to enhance workplace health and productivity will also be examined.

STREAM 3 - THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF LEED - LEED v4 is the next step in the continuous improvement

of the LEED rating system. This stream is designed to give delegates a greater understanding of the power of LEED as well

as the changes, improvements and additions in v4. Presentations will feature case studies from the retail sector, discuss the

impact of v4 on Canadian properties targeting LEED certification, provide insight to EB: O&M recertification, share details on

the use of life cycle analysis in the new version of LEED, as well as present the basics of Environmental Product Declarations.

STREAM 4 - GREEN BUILDING POLICY - Green building policy needs to constantly evolve in order to create and

sustain long term value in terms of quality of life, return on investment, energy efficiency and environmental impact. This

stream features the best of government green building policies and programs in Canada that engage the private sector

to improve the environmental performance of new and existing buildings. In addition, successful policies and programs in

energy benchmarking, disclosure, and labeling of existing buildings will be shared. Presenters hail from British Columbia,

Alberta, Ontario and Newfoundland & Labrador, providing an impressively diverse perspective on Canadian policy.

STREAM 5 - DISTRICT SCALE DEVELOPMENT - How do large-scale new community or neighbourhood redevelop-

ments integrate green building with innovative infrastructure development to achieve high levels of environmental perfor-

mance, technological innovation, and return on investment? Can environmental sustainability initiatives benefit from a more

holistic approach that includes broader societal outcomes? The stream will explore the value (business, environment and

livability) being realized in neighbourhood and community redevelopments, and showcase government policies, programs

and incentives that enable this shift to large-scale urban green building.

STREAM 6 - GROWING THE GREEN BUILDING SECTOR - Ongoing growth of the green building sector requires

innovative products, materials, technologies and approaches in order to produce ever greener buildings and cities where

human health and well-being are priorities. This stream will review green building growth globally, include some of the latest

innovations which enhance Canada’s global competiveness in this sector, and share national and international market trends

in green building innovation.

Emerging Performance Ambitions: Net Positive Energy Buildings

Presented by: Ray Cole, Academic Director, UBC Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability

ROOM 713B

1 GBCI CE

HOUR

The emerging notion of “net positive energy” buildings, if considered as more than simply an extension of net-zero energy, introduces several new design considerations and possibilities. This presentation explores the consequences of viewing the role of a building in adding value to its context and where the emphasis shifts to the maximization of energy performance in a system-based approach. Net Positive Energy approaches open a host of new technical, behavioural, policy and regulatory issues not currently evident with Net Zero Energy buildings and challenge the current expectation that each and every building should be required to attain net zero performance.

Turning the Sustainability Story Inside Out: A Dynamic Perspective on What Really Matters

Presented by: Darryl Neate, Director, Sustainability, Oxford Properties Group; Kristina Schwartz, Vice President, Operations and Sustainability, Brookfield Office Properties; Karen Jalon, Director, National Sustainability, Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited.

ROOM 714A

1 GBCI CE

HOUR

We design, build, operate and manage real estate sustainably. But how does our approach to each of these change when we examine it through the lens of “what really matters”? In this panel discussion, three of Canada’s largest building owner/operators will share their unique journey along the path of value creation in sustainable real estate. The discussion will show how putting the occupier at the centre of decision-making moves the sustainability continuum along, and creates value through optimally housing organizations, managing business performance and enhancing the human experience.

Nature, Biophilia and Stress Reduction in Knowledge Workers

Presented by: Ann Callaghan, Professor, Conestoga College and Algonquin College Founding Partner Callaghan Letellier Wiens Gibbons

ROOM 714A

1 GBCI CE

HOUR

Have we got office design all wrong? Many designers, office workers and corporate decision-makers equate sitting all day at a desk, in a sealed office building - often an enclosed office, often without windows - as the typical work environment. The increased interest in sustainable buildings and the introduction of green building rating systems such as LEED have increased awareness of the values of daylight and views, operable windows, and the removal of VOCs. However, designers and architects are not looking at additional features that should be included in an office environment to improve the well-being of knowledge workers.

Enabling Better Informed Decision Making Using a Sustainable Return on Investment Approach

Presented by: Arsheel Hirji, Leader, Sustainable Infrastructure – Engineering & Energy Services, City of Calgary; Russ Golightly, Project Manager, City of Calgary.

ROOM 713A

1 GBCI CE

HOUR

In 2013, the City of Calgary undertook an analysis of the cost/benefit difference related to policy objectives of achieving LEED Gold for new construction. Four city reference buildings representing different building types were used to develop a Sustainable Return on Investment (S-SROI) analysis of LEED Gold and Silver certification levels. The aggregated results of all four reference buildings demonstrate that for every incremental capital dollar invested in a LEED Gold certified building, from $10 to $12 are achieved in triple bottom line benefits. This presentation will outline the SROI methodology and how to incorporate the approach into decision making.

Bringing Green Building Policy to Life - Tools and Techniques to Optimize Outcomes (Master Speaker Series)

Presented by: Jennifer Sanguinetti, Director, Project Services, University of British Columbia.

ROOM 713A

1 GBCI CE

HOUR

BC Housing and UBC have long standing green building policies. With over 50 LEED registered and certified projects combined, they’ve learned that simply mandating LEED Gold certification doesn't guarantee high performing buildings. Effective policy must be matched with resources, enabling teams to design, build and operate the buildings successfully. This presentation will highlight the tools both UBC and BC Housing have created to support their policy including: design requirements; a Building Handover Guide documenting how to transition between design/construction and operation; operations manual templates; and an operator training program. Case studies illustrating implementation of these resources, including actual operating data, will be presented.

Beyond the Building Scale: Accounting for Low Carbon District Energy within LEED

Presented by: Gerard MacDonald, Associate, Reshape Infrastructure Strategies Ltd.

ROOM 715A

1 GBCI CE

HOUR

At their best, green building policy and climate policy can provide environmental benefits greater than the sum of their parts. In some instances, policies introduce competing and potentially conflicting signals resulting in higher project costs and sub-optimal green building or carbon abatement solutions. This session explores the intersection between the green building and climate policies for residential, commercial, and institutional building projects in Vancouver. Case studies will show how the Province, the City, building and DES industry stakeholders, and the CaGBC are collaborating to find synergies, and to optimize the intended benefits of both green building and climate policy measures.

Symbiotic Cities: A Paradigm Shift in our Relationship with our Planet

Presented by: Craig Applegath, Principal, DIALOG

ROOM 715B

1 GBCI CE

HOUR

Sustainability is about doing less environmental harm, and regenerative design is about repairing the harm we have already done. But these goals, though important, are not a final destination. So what should be the ultimate goal of our ecological urban and building design efforts? What is the end-state that will allow our species to successfully co-exist with our planet’s intricately connected ecosystems? This session will examine the important role cities and their constituent building blocks can play in helping us transition from our current parasitic behavior to a more symbiotic relationship with the ecosystems we are completely integrated within.

11 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
