Toronto green homes and condos
The city of Toronto is increasingly active in promoting and encouraging green developments and eco-friendly, sustainable lifestyles. Residents are encouraged to "live green", and local programs include Renewable Energy incentives, Community Power initiatives, and an Eco-Roof Incentive strategy among others. Many of Toronto's new condominium developments are now built Green, following the Canada Green Building Council's LEED® Green Building Rating System, which recognizes building projects that have sustainable site development, are water and energy efficient, use renewable or recycled materials, and are built in mixed-use, walkable locations.
