LEEDership in the Green World
LEED has become the standard for green building design and construction. It is a new term. LEED is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. LEED principles are basically reduce reuse and recycle, but on a much more detailed level. LEED looks at the environmental sensitivity of a site, occupant’s health, sustainable materials, low eco-footprints and construction practices. Buildings can be registered as Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum (top rating). Individuals can write an exam to be accredited (LEED AP). The LEED process is managed by the Canadian Green Building Council.
LEED is truly leadership in today’s growing green world.
I will be studying this fall for my accreditation exam following my initial LEED training. I will keep you posted on more LEEDs and my accreditation process later.

About Me
- Al Seymour
- Please let me introduce myself. My name is Al Seymour and I own Muskoka in the City Inc. which specializes in smaller renovations along with building garden and cottage structures. I have a passion for the environment from years of canoe tripping and camping across Canada plus leading youth through Scouts Canada. Out 2 family cottages are fantastic places to escape to, but there is always the maintainance. Now I am combining my passion for the environment, with my many years of operations and consulting leadership to make a difference. The time for green oriented renovations is now. By planning and doing things wisely we will help to reduce our environmental footprint.
