The Toronto Green Standard contains performance targets and guidelines that relate to site and building design to promote better environmental sustainability of development. The Standard is a "made-in-Toronto" approach that integrates existing City guidelines and targets with standards from private rating systems such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Green Globes. The Toronto Green Standard is intended not to compete with rating systems like LEED, but to ensure that when there is a desire to "build green" in Toronto, local environmental objectives are met.
