With the adoption of the Canadian Green Building Council LEED standard for public procurement in many municipalities across Canada, green roofs promise to play a key role in attaining many LEED credits. Green roofs now qualify for funding from Natural Resources (NRCan) through the Energy Innovators Initiative (EII), the Commercial Building Initiative Program (CBIP) and the Industrial Building Incentive Program (IBIP). Funding is based on energy savings.
