Because of the Vancouver charter, they can adopt things in the building code that other municipalities can't. They are actually in the process of greening their code. Originally they wanted to make LEED mandatory, and we advised them against it because LEED is not a code. It's a rating system, not a regulation.
But what they are doing now is being very supportive of LEED, also for the private sector, and they're starting to bring the code in line with the LEED requirements in terms of water, energy, and so on. So at least it meets the baselines in the LEED rating system a bit better. So far, I understand this is the only jurisdiction in Canada to have undertaken this.
I note that the Province of Ontario has a new building code that's very forward looking in terms of energy. It's the first time that I've seen “environment” actually mentioned in a building code.
These are the only ones I'm aware of that have taken those steps. I think the B.C. premier said they would bring a green code in by 2010.
