  17. Environmental leadership • Located in Canada’s first national park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, our beautiful mountain location is fundamental to your Banff Centre experience.

  18. Environmental leadership • To respect our place in the park, and to demonstrate environmental leadership, the building will seek LEED®(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™ certification, an international benchmark for design, construction, and operation of high environmental performance buildings.

  19. Environmental leadership • Projects with LEED® certification must meet prerequisites in six categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovation in design.

  20. Environmental leadership • The number of points the project earns in each of these categories determines the level of certification. The Kinnear Centre will seek Silver status. • Plans are for the Kinnear Centre to open in the fall of 2010.
