This project is located in Brookhaven-Amesbury near the Westview Greenbelt overlooking Amesbury Park. The building is 21 storeys and includes 216 residential condominium suites and several indoor and outdoor amenity areas. The building successfully achieved the Toronto Green Standard Tier 2, v2 requirements. The building’s sustainability elements promote recycled content of building materials, reduced construction waste, and optimized energy and water performance.
This Toronto Green Standard Tier 2, Version 2.0 building includes:
2,950 GJ (18.6 per cent energy savings vs. ASHRAE 90.1-2010 + SB-10)
Low-flow plumbing fixtures were selected for installation to reduce potable water consumption by 33 per cent compared to a building with conventional plumbing fixtures. This amounts to over 14 million litres of water saved annually.
A total of 199 long term and 22 short term bicycle parking spaces are provided outdoors and inside the underground garage.
Six parking spaces are equipped with electric vehicle charging stations.
The green roofs located at the amenity rooftop terrace and building rooftops feature drought tolerant and native plant species, which reduce the need for irrigation at its source and promote biodiversity.
Over 75 per cent of the at-grade hardscape is high-albedo surface materials to reduce the effects of urban heat island.
A waste management plan was implemented throughout construction, which successfully diverted 85 per cent of all construction waste from landfill. Most of the waste generated on site during construction was recycled.
Each suite is equipped with an energy recovery ventilator (ERV). The ERV allows the delivery of fresh outdoor air directly into the suite, while recovering 60-70 per cent of the energy of outgoing air. Waste energy from stale air is used to warm up incoming air in winter and cool down incoming air in summer while recovering energy from the departing airstream and ensuring better indoor air quality for residents.
Each floor is equipped with a sealed garbage chute room with a bi-sorter, allowing residents to easily dispose of waste, recyclables, and organics.
