There are several good sites to help you locate information on your green building.
The building's website often has a page listing the building's sustainabilty features. They may also list any awards the building has won and generally provide a detailed list of the firms that have worked on the project.
These firms often have detailed information about their projects, including green techniques or materials that were used on the project. They also list any awards the project may have won. They may also list or link to articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers.
For example, many of the firms that worked on the GBC Waterfront Campus have web pages on the project.
If the building has won a sustainability award, there is often a detailed write-up from the award jury on why the building was chosen as well as the original submission for the award.
For example, SAB Magazine's website lists the winners of the Canada Green Building Award and provides a complete article on each project and the original submission for the award. The two links below show you the article and submission for One York Street.
There are more detailed awards such as the Sustainable Concrete award that can provide insights into specific aspects that went into the LEED certification.
