Green Building Design and Operation

Improving efficiency and environmental performance

In 2009, TD established an integrated North American real estate strategy to incorporate green design into our building design and operating standards. This will allow us to gain efficiencies by managing more than 2,500 properties on an enterprise-wide basis.

Green Building Design

In 2009, we opened another four LEED-certified facilities (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and are continuing with LEED pilot programs for our data centre, call centres, existing buildings and commercial interiors. We are also developing a LEED platinum prototype for new stores in the U.S.

Buildings can qualify for four levels of certification (certified, silver, gold and platinum) depending on the amount and sophistication of environmentally sustainable construction techniques.
