BOMA BESt is the next evolution of BOMA Canada's Go Green program.  BESt stands for Building Environmental Standards, and represents the direction of the commercial real estate industry in Canada and BOMA Canada's role in providing the mechanisms for common practices across the industry.

With four possible levels of certification, users can progress through the program and continually use the framework of the Go Green Best Practices and the Go Green Plus assessment to improve environmental performance and management. The BOMA BESt certification builds on Go Green and Go Green Plus by harmonizing these separate certifications into one program.

Why BOMA BESt?
There are many reasons why owners and managers pursue BOMA BESt certification for their buildings. By providing a framework for environmental management, BOMA BESt helps managers to differentiate buildings in tight markets and is a value-add for tenants.

BOMA BESt is the Industry Standard
BOMA BESt is comprised of the BOMA Go Green Best Practices and the Go Green Plus assessment, and has been the industry standard for environmental management in commercial buildings since 2005. The program is accessible to many types and sizes of buildings, and with four levels of certification, there is room for many more to start on their own paths to continual improvement.
